One Step Equations

Fill in the blanks with the appropriate words. When solving an equation, you must keep both side balanced. In other words, what we do to one side we do to the other. We do this using inverse operations. Inverse operations are opposite operations that undo each other. Match the operation to it's inverse. addition subtraction multiplication division subtraction addition division multiplication Match each equation to the appropriate first-step to solving the equation. x + 12 = 21 x + 12 - 12 = 21 - 12 2x = 14 2x / 2 = 14 / 2 x - 5 = 17 x - 5 + 5 = 17 + 5 17 + x = 20 17 + x - 17 = 20 - 17 Solve the equation: 5x = 20 Insert a picture of your work, type out the work, or record yourself explaining the step(s). Solve the equation: x + 9 = 25 Insert a picture of your work, type out the work, or record yourself explaining the step(s). Solve the equation: x = 6 Draw out your work! Solve the equation: x - (2 = 3 Use the drawing pad below to show the work for how to correctly solve this equation. Solve the equation: 0.5x = 14 7 28 0.5 14.5 Solve the equation: x + 1 = 6 5 -5 7 -7 Solve the equation: 12 + x = 16 -4 28 4 192 Solve the equation: x = 6 2 18 9 3 Solve the equation: -7 = x - 7 -14 14 0 49 Sort the following equations by what operation you would use to SOLVE them (Hint: this does NOT mean the operation that is in the equation!) Multiplication x = 14 x = 12 x = 5 Division 2x = 16 4x = 24 5x = 50 Addition x - 3 = 2 x - 8 = -5 x - 18 = 20 Subtraction x + 6 = 8 x + 9 = 20 x + 7 = 13
