Solving One Step Equations | 6th Grade | Mathcation.com

How to Solve One Step Equations One Step Equations are algebraic equations that can be solved in only one step. Each equation will have numbers and a variable. The variable is a representation of an unknown number that you are trying to figure out. In order to find the number that the variable is equal to you have to use addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. When you are deciding which operation to use, you have to use the opposite operation that is being used in the equation. For example, the opposite of addition is subtraction, so if you needed to solve an equation with an addition sign, you would use subtraction because it is the opposite of addition. You know the equation has been solved when you have a final solution of the variable equals a number. About Mathcation: Mathcation has hundreds of resources that are available 24/7.
