Inverse Operations and One-Step Equations

Solve one-step equations using inverse operations! Practice key math skills.

INVERSE OPERATIONS Match the math operation with its correct inverse. Add Subtract Subtract Add Multiply Divide Divide Multiply Fill in the blanks to complete the sentences. The goal of solving equations is to find the solution to the variable by getting the variable by itself. To do this, you use inverse operations to solve. For example, in the equation b+7=12, you would need to subtract 7 fromboth sides of the equal sign. One Step Equation Choose the inverse operation that would be used to find the solution. a + 6 = 10 subtract 6 from both sides a - 6 = 10 add 6 to both sides 6a = 12 divide both sides by 6 a = 3 multiply both sides by 6 b = 4 multiply both sides by 3 3b = 12 divide both sides by 3 b - 3 = 12 add 3 to both sides b + 3 = 12 subtract 3 from both sides
