Solving One Step Equations
Addition Equations
Learn how to solve one step equations in 2 easy steps.
There are four things that you must remember when solving any equation AND everything must be mathematically correct!
- Your goal is to get the variable that you are solving for by itself on one side of the equation.
Example: x = _____ - To eliminate a term on one side of the equation, you use the opposite mathematical operation.
- Whatever you do to one side of the equation, you MUST do to the other side of the equation. This keeps the equation balanced!
- Always check your answer by substituting the value back into the original equation.
Let's take a closer look at the three rules above in an example problem.
