1-Step
The process of solving 1-step equations
What is "to isolate the variable by doing the reverse operation for the equation"?
2h + 2 = 4
h = 1
The process of solving 1-step equations that include multiplication and division.
ex. How would you solve 2x=10 or x/2=10
Isolate the variable by either dividing or multiplying on both sides of the equal sign
Equations have equals signs and expressions do not!
