1-Step
How do we solve 1-step equations?
What is "Isolate the variable by doing the inverse for the equation"?
How do we solve 2-step equations?
What is "Add/Subtract the non-variable term and then multiply/divide the term with the variable."
-5x = -30
What is 6
Would I be right in saying that x = 4 in the equation
3x = 12? Explain
Yes. When you divide both sides by 3, you get 12/3, which is 4.
What day is Christmas on?
December 25th
x - 4 = 7
x = 11
29 = 5 + 8b
b = 3
What step do I take to solve 15 = 3w?
Divide by 3 on both sides of the equal sign
We solve equations by using inverse operations. What operations pair with each other?
Add with Subtract/Subtract with Add
Multiply with Divide/Divide with Multiply
What is our school mascot?
Timberwolves
x − 21 = 6
x = 27
67 = 11 n + 1
n = 6
What is the first step in solving a/-7 = 9
Multiply both sides by negative 7
How do you check equations?
Plug the answer you got in for the variable in the original equation and see if it is true.
Who is our assistant Principal?
Mrs. Sanders
k + 10 = 27
k = 17
3 (q - 7) = 27
q = 16
2 = f/8
16 = f
What are the steps to solving 3x + 5 = -13
Divide 3 on both sides.
What do you call a fake noodle?
An ImPASTA!!!
29 = p + 20
9 = p
(j/2) + 7 = 12
j = 10
-2y = 18
y = -9
Explain what did Daniel do wrong in solving this equation?
4x - 8 = 16
4x = 8
x = 2
Daniel subtracted 8 from 16 instead of adding 8 to 16. The answer should be x = 6
Who is our Principal?
Mrs. Toole
