Solving one step equation using addition

The video tutorial explains how to solve one-step equations by isolating the variable using inverse operations. It emphasizes the importance of practicing these methods to prepare for more complex equations. The tutorial demonstrates solving an equation by adding to both sides and checking the solution by substituting the value back into the original equation.

Why is it important to use inverse operations when solving one-step equations?

• To ensure accuracy when equations become more complex

• To avoid using a calculator

• To make the process faster

• To memorize the solution

What is the first step in using inverse operations to solve an equation?

• Subtract the same number from both sides

• Multiply both sides by zero

• Use the order of operations

• Add the same number to both sides

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

• To add variables to both sides

• To remove all numbers from the equation

• To ensure the variable is on one side of the equation

• To multiply the variable by zero

How can you verify that your solution to an equation is correct?

• By ensuring the variable is on the left side

• By substituting the solution back into the original equation

• By using a calculator

• By checking if the variable is positive

What should the left and right sides of an equation represent?

• Different values

• The same value

• Random values

• Opposite values
