One-Step Addition and Subtraction Equations An equation is a sentence stating that two quantities are equal. The value of a variable that makes an equation true is called the solution of the equation. x + 2 = 6x = 4 These are equivalent equations because they have the same solution, 4

1.Get the variable alone 2.To do that, do the opposite of what you are already doing to it. 3.Whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other. Remember these steps:

The Subtraction Property of Equality states that the two sides of an equation remain equal when you subtract the same number from each side. If a=b, then a−c = b−c Example: x + 6 = 4 −6 x= -2 check = 4 4 = 4

The Addition Property of Equality states that the two sides of an equation remain equal when you add the same number from each side. If a=b, then a+c = b+c Example: X − 2 = 1 +2 x= 3 check 3 − 2 = 1 1 = 1

Whiteboard time: y + 6 = y = 3

x + 3 = x = -2

-3 = a = a

y − 3 = y = 7

r − 4 = r = 2

12 = c = c An angelfish can grow to be 12 inches long. If an angelfish is 8.5 inches longer than a clownfish, how long is a clownfish? A clownfish is 3.5 inches long

25 = j − = j A pair of shoes costs $25. This is $14 less than the cost of a pair of jeans. Find the cost of the jeans? The jeans cost $39.
