One-Step Equations Practice

Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

A one-step equation is an algebraic equation that can be solved in a single step by performing the same operation on both sides of the equation.

Front

Solve the equation: -5x = 25

Back

x = -5

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

Isolating a variable means to manipulate the equation so that the variable is on one side by itself, allowing you to find its value.

Front

Solve the equation: ⅔m = -4

Back

m = -6

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation x + 20 = 53?

Back

Subtract 20 from both sides to isolate x.

Front

Write an equation for the problem: Joy collected 20 pounds, and together with Steve, they collected 53 pounds.

Back

x + 20 = 53

Front

What operation would you use to solve the equation y/-5 = 20?

Back

Multiply both sides by -5 to isolate y.

Front

Solve the equation: m - 15 = 25.32

Back

m = 40.32

Front

What is the purpose of using variables in equations?

Back

Variables represent unknown values that we can solve for using algebraic methods.

Front

What is the solution to the equation y = -100?

Back

The value of y is -100.
