  1. ONE STEP EQUATIONS 8x = -72 m + 18 = 3 Students will use inverse operations to solve one-step equations. x + 4 = 12 m – 18 = - 3 3p = - 27

  2. ONE-STEP EQUATIONS An equation is like a balance scale because it shows that two quantities are equal. What you do to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side to keep it balanced.

  3. Keep the scale balanced. If we add 3 apples to this side… What must we do to this side?

  4. Keep the scale balanced. What must we do to this side? If we subtract 3 bananas from this side…

  5. ONE STEP EQUATIONS To solve one step equations, you need to ask three questions about the equation: • What is the variable? • What operation is performed on the variable? • What is the inverse operation? (The one that will “undo” what is being done to the variable)

  6. INVERSE OPERATIONS The inverse operation of addition is… SUBTRACTION The inverse operation of subtraction is… ADDITION The inverse operation of multiplication is… DIVISION The inverse operation of division is… MULTIPLICATION

  7. 1-Step Equations with addition What is the variable? The variable is x. What operation is being performed on the variable? Addition. Example 1 Solve x + 4 = 12 What is the inverse operation? Subtraction. The subtraction property of equality tells us to subtract the same thing on both sides to keep the equation equal. Using the subtraction property of equality, subtract 4 from both sides of the equation. x + 4 = 12 - 4 - 4 x = 8 You can check ALL answers. Start by writing the original problem. x + 4 = 12 Plug in your answer. 8 + 4 = ? CORRECT! 12

  8. + (+3) Practice: 1-step Equations with addition • j + (-3) = 1 • 4. c + 5 = 0 1. m + 9 = 3 3. g + 4 = -12 - 9 - 9 - (-3) - (-3) m = -6 j = 4 check: -6 + 9 = ? check: 4 + (-3) = ? 3 = 3  1 = 1  - 4 - 4 - 5 - 5 g = -16 c = - 5 check: -16 + 4 = ? check: - 5 + 5 = ? -12 = -12  0 = 0 

  9. 1-Step Equations with subtraction What is the variable? The variable is y. What operation is being performed on the variable? Subtraction. Example 2 Solve y – 7 = -13 What is the inverse operation? Addition. The addition property of equality tells us to add the same thing on both sides to keep the equation equal. Using the addition property of equality, add 7 to both sides of the equation. y – 7 = -13 + 7 + 7 -6 y = Check your work! y – 7 = - 13 Plug in your answer. -6 – 7 = ? CORRECT! -13

  10. Practice: 1-step Equations with subtraction • f – 3 = - 5 2. n – 18 = 2 • 3. g – 8 = -2 4. m – 11 = 1 + 3 + 3 + 18 +18 f = -2 n = 20 check: -2 – 3 = ? check: 20 – 18 = ? -5 = -5  2 = 2  + 8 + 8 + 11 +11 g = 6 m = 12 check: 6 – 8 = ? check: 12 – 11 = ? -2 = -2  1 = 1 

  11. 1-Step Equations with multiplication What is the variable? The variable is a. Example 3 Solve –6a = 12 What operation is being performed on the variable? Multiplication. What is the inverse operation? Division The division property of equality tells us to divide the same thing on both sides to keep the equation equal. –6a = 12 Using the division property of equality, divide both sides of the equation by –6. -6 -6 a -2 = CHECK: REMEMBER: The fraction means DIVIDE! NOTE: -6  -6 = 1 and “1a” means the same thing as “a”. - 6a = 12 -6 ( ) = ? -2 CORRECT! 12

  12. Practice: 1-step Equationswith multiplication • 3a = -18 2. -4n = -32 • 3. 5m = -45 4. -3x = 3 3 3 -4 -4 a = -6 n = 8 Check: 3 (-6) = ? Check: -4 (8) = ? -18 = -18  -32 = -32  5 5 -3 -3 m = -9 x = -1 Check: 5 (-9) = ? Check: -3 (-1) = ? -45 = -45  3 = 3 

  13. 1-Step Equations with division = -10 What is the variable? The variable is b. What operation is being performed on the variable? Division. What is the inverse operation? Multiplication Example 4 Solve Using the multiplication property of equality, multiply both sides of the equation by 2. The multiplication property of equality tells us to multiply the same thing on both sides to keep the equation equal. 2 • • 2 = -10 -20 b = CHECK: = -10 -20 = ? 2 Correct! -10

  14. Practice: 1-step Equations with division (-4) (-4) 2. 4. 1. 3. (3) (3) x = -36 b = 18 Check: Check: 9 = 9  6 = 6  (-5) (-5) (-8) (-8) x = 10 k = -8 Check: Check: -2 = -2  1 = 1 

  15. Summary When solving one-step equations, always use the “inverse operation” to undo the operation that is done on the variable. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR WORK!
