🔑The goal is to move the variable to one side of the equation.
🚀Perform the opposite operation on both sides to isolate the variable.
💡Remember the order of operations when deciding which operation to perform first.
🎯Check your solution by substituting it back into the original equation.
🔗Further practice and examples are available in our complete video on solving equations.
What is a one-step equation?
—A one-step equation is an equation that can be solved in a single step by applying one operation.
Why is solving one-step equations important?
—Solving one-step equations is essential for understanding foundational algebra concepts and passing math tests.
How do I know which operation to perform first?
—Follow the order of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), addition and subtraction (from left to right).
Can I check my solution?
—Yes, you can substitute the solution back into the original equation to verify if it satisfies the equation.
