Solving One-Step Equations
(Positive Solutions Only)
Objectives:
- Solve for an unknown value in one-step equations.
- Check your work by plugging your answer into the original one-step equation.
What is a one-step equation?
A one-step equation is called "one-step" because it takes only one inverse operation to solve for the unknown value in the equation.
