1. I can solve one-step equations in one variable.

2. Equations that have the same solutions. In order to solve a one-step equation, you can use the properties of equality and inverse operations EQUIVALENT EQUATIONS

3. Adding the same number to each side of an equation produces an equivalent equation. x – 3 = 2 x – 3 + 3 = 2 + 3 Subtracting the same number from each side of an equation produces an equivalent equation. x + 3 = 2 x + 3 – 3 = 2 - 3 ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION PROPERTIES OF EQUALITY

4. To solve an equation you must isolate the variable by getting the variable alone on one side of the equation. You do this by using inverse operations, undoing the operation. Ex: subtraction is the inverse of addition INVERSE OPERATIONS

5. x + 13 = 27 You want to isolate the variable x + 13 - 13 = 27 - 13 Use inverse operations x + 0 = 14 Simplify x = 14 EXAMPLE

6. Substitute your answer into the original equation. 14 + 13 = 27 27 = 27 If both sides are not equal, go back and check your work. CHECK YOUR ANSWER
