How to Solve One-Step Equations

One-step equations are the foundation of algebra. The goal is to get the variable (x) alone on one side of the equation.

The Golden Rule

Whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other side. This keeps the equation balanced.

Inverse Operations

Example 1: Solve x + 7 = 12

Subtract 7 from both sides: x = 12 - 7 = 5

Example 2: Solve 4x = 20

Divide both sides by 4: x = 20 รท 4 = 5
