Introduction to One-Step Equations

An equation is a mathematical statement that two expressions are equal. A one-step equation can be solved using a single operation to isolate the variable.

To solve an equation, use inverse operations to isolate the variable on one side.

One-step equations involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division with rational numbers.
