2 -1 Solving One-Step Equations

Equivalent equations: equations that have the same solution(s) Addition Property of Equality: adding the same number to each side of the equation produces an equivalent equation Subtraction Property of Equality: Subtracting the same number from each side of an equation produces an equivalent equation

Solving an Equation • Get the variable by itself • To isolate the variable using the properties of equality and inverse operations (undo another operation) • Subtraction undoes addition • Addition undoes subtraction • Multiplication undoes division • Division undoes multiplication • Fractions-> Multiply by the reciprocal
