One-Step Equations

1.

 These are algebraic equations that can be solved in a single step using either addition or subtraction.

Goal

2.

The objective is to isolate the variable (usually represented by 'x') on one side of the equation.

Addition

3.

 To solve equations like 'x + 5 = 12,' subtract 5 from both sides to find 'x = 7.'

Subtraction

4.

For equations like 'x - 8 = 3,' add 8 to both sides to discover 'x = 11.'

Example

5.

Solve '2x + 3 = 9.' Subtract 3 from both sides: '2x = 6.' Divide by 2: 'x = 3.'
