One-Step Equations VocabularyEquation – a mathematical sentence that contains an equal sign. The equation acts like a balance scale.
Solution – a number that can replace a variable in an equation and make a true statement.
Algebra- A branch of mathematics that includes the use of variables.

Since an equation is like a balance scale, if you do something to one side, then you have to
do it to the other side.

Let’s look at it using algebra
x + 10 = 15
Step 1: Complete
the inverse operation to both sides
of the equation.
- 10 - 10
Step 2: Write or “bring
down” the result.
x = 5

What if the equation were
written this way?
x + 1 = 7

To keep the equation balanced…..
….we must perform the same operation to both sides.

Since this is addition,we subtract the same number
from both sides.
X + 1 = 7 -1 -1

Example 1
m + 18 = 34 Look for variable
-18 -18 Do the inverse
m = 16 Write what m is
m + 18 = 3416 + 18 = 34 substitute in m
34 = 34 Solution is correct!

Example 1 (bar model)
m + 18 = 34 Look for variable Do the inverse
What number does m represent?
m = 16Substitute in m
16 + 18 = 34 34 = 34
Solution is correct!
m 18

A check only takes 3 steps:
1. Write the original equation. 2x = 122. Substitute the answer
for the variable. 2(6) = 123. Verify that both sides
are equal. 12 = 12
