Introduction Into Solving One Step Equations

This video tutorial introduces the concept of equations, focusing on one-step equations. It explains the importance of the equal sign, how to find the value of variables, and the properties of equality. The tutorial provides step-by-step methods for solving equations and offers practice problems with tips to reinforce learning.

What is the fundamental concept that an equation is based on?

• The variable

• The coefficient

• The constant

• The equal sign

Which property of equality allows you to add the same number to both sides of an equation?

• Subtraction property of equality

• Multiplication property of equality

• Addition property of equality

• Division property of equality

What is the process called when you get a variable by itself in an equation?

• Factoring the equation

• Simplifying the equation

• Isolating the variable

• Balancing the equation

If you have the equation X + 5 = 10, what operation would you use to solve for X?

• Divide both sides by 5

• Multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 5 from both sides

• Add 5 to both sides

In the equation X / 4 = 1, what operation would you use to solve for X?

• Multiply both sides by 4

• Subtract 4 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 4

• Add 4 to both sides

What is the inverse operation of multiplication?

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Division

• Exponentiation

When solving the equation -7X = -14, what operation should be used to isolate X?

• Add 7 to both sides

• Subtract 7 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by -7

• Divide both sides by -7

What should you do if you encounter a variable on the right side of an equation?

• Ignore it

• Subtract the variable from both sides

• Add the variable to both sides

• Rewrite the equation with the variable on the left

What is the result of adding a number and its negative counterpart?

• The number itself

• Zero

• A positive number

• A negative number

What is the first step in solving the equation V - 9 = 18?

• Add 9 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 9

• Multiply both sides by 9

• Subtract 9 from both sides
