Understanding One-Step Equations

What is the primary goal when solving a one-step equation?

• To make both sides of the equation zero

• To eliminate all numbers

• To find the value of the variable

• To multiply all terms by two

Which operation is the inverse of subtraction?

• Addition

• Division

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

In the equation x - 4 = 13, what should be added to both sides to solve for x?

• 4

• 0

• -4

• 13

If you have the equation 2 = x + 4, what operation will you use to isolate x?

• Divide both sides by 4

• Multiply both sides by 4

• Subtract 4 from both sides

• Add 4 to both sides

What is the result of solving the equation 2 = x + 4?

• x = 0

• x = 2

• x = -2

• x = 6

What is the inverse operation of multiplication?

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Division

In the equation 6x = 36, what should you do to both sides to solve for x?

• Divide by 6

• Subtract 6

• Add 6

• Multiply by 6

What is the value of x in the equation 6x = 36?

• x = 6

• x = 0

• x = 36

• x = 1

How can you verify your solution to an equation?

• By substituting the value back into the original equation

• By using a calculator

• By guessing

• By asking a friend

What is the result of substituting x = 6 back into the equation 6x = 36?

• 0

• 6

• 1

• 36
