Solve One Step Equations Using Addition or Subtraction

Solve for x:
8x - 10 = -34

• 4

• 3

• -3

• -24

What is the first step in solving this equation:
5x + 7 = 12

• Divide by 5

• Subtract 5

• Multiply by 7

• Subtract 7

y + 8 = 20

• 10

• 11

• 12

• 13

3p - 1 = 5

• 3

• 2

• 1

• 0

To Solve the Equation Below, you would?

x - 62 = 123

• add 62 to each side

• multiply each side by 62

• subtract 62 from each side

• Add 123 to each side

What would be the first step in solving this equation?

• subtract -10 to both sides

• subtract 20 to both sides

• add 20 to both sides

• add -10 to both sides

x - 62 = 123

• add 62 to each side

• multiply each side by 62

• subtract 62 from each side

• Add 123 to each side

x - 62 = 123
Hint: What is the INVERSE of -62? Do this to BOTH sides!

• Add 62 to each side. 

• Subtract 62 from each side.

• Multiply each side by 62.

• Add 123 to each side.

To Solve the Equation Below, you'd
x - 62 = 123

• add 62 to each side

• subtract 62 from each side

• multiply each side by 62

• Add 123 to each side

What would be the best first step to solving the equation?
-18=m+12

• add 18 to both sides

• subtract 18 from both sides

• add 12 to both sides

• subtract 12 from both sides
