SOLVING 1 STEP EQUATIONS

Examples- Solve for y
1. 2. 1. 2.
y+6= 13 y-6=13
3. 4. y+6 = 13 y-6 = 13
6y= 42
y 6=7

1. Determine what operation is

stated in the equation ( +, -, x,
)

3. 4.
2. Use the opposite operation 6y= 42 y 6=7
( +, -, x, ) to solve for the

variable y.

3. Whatever you do to one side

of the equation you must do to
the second side as well.

4. The variable y should be alone

on one side of the equal sign.
