Solving Equations

One-Step Equations

1

12 = 8 + x

x= 4

2

x + 12 = 13

x= 1

3

3 = 8 – x

x= 5

4

5x = 80

x= 16

5

16 = x/2

x = 32

Two-Step Equations

1

6x – 13 = 11

x= 4

2

3x + 5 = 14

x= 3

3

x/2 + 13 = 18

x= 10

4

x/2 + 5 = 9

x= 8

5

x/3 - 5 = 0

x= 15

Multi-Step Equations

1

4x + 3 = 7

x = 1

2

4 + 5x = 29

x = 5

3

45 = x + 4

x = 41

4

14 = (3a + 6) + 2

a=2

5

14 = 7(5k - 8)

k = 2
