Type of Equation	Example	Operation to Solve	Solution
Addition Equations	y + m =n	Subtract m from both sides	y = n −m
Subtraction Equations	y − m = n	Add m to both sides	y = n + m
Multiplication Equations	my = n	Divide both sides by m	y = n/m​
Division Equations	y/m ​= n	Multiply both sides by m	y = mn

One-Step Equations Practice Questions with Solution

Question 1: Solve x + 2 = 10

Solution:

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = 10 – 2

x = 8

Question 2: Solve x – 5 = 18

Solution:

Add 5 to both sides:

x = 18 + 5

x = 23

Question 3: Solve x + 12 = 8

Solution:

Subtract 12 from both sides:

x = 8 – 12

x = -4

Question 4: Solve x – 8 = -5

Solution:

Add 8 to both sides:

x = -5 + 8

x = 3

Question 5: Solve 6x = 36

Solution:

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 36/6

x = 6

Question 6: Solve -5x = 45

Solution:

Divide both sides by -5:

x = 45/-5

x = -9

Question 7: Solve x/8 = 4

Solution:

Multiply both sides by 8:

x = 4 x 8

x = 32

Question 8: Solve x/-4 = 6

Solution:

Multiply both sides by -4:

x = 6 x -4

x = -24

FAQs of One-Step Equations

What is a one step equation?

A one-step equation is an algebraic equation that can be solved in a single step using one operation, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, to isolate the variable.

How can an equation be solved in one step?

Determine the operation applied to the variable and isolate it on one side of the equation by using the inverse operation.

Is it possible to use negative values in one-step equations?

It is possible for one-step equations to have negative integers. There is no change in the method of solving.

Why are one-step equations important?

One-step equations are crucial because they provide the foundation for comprehending algebraic principles and solving more difficult equations.

Is it possible to solve one-step equations with fractions or decimals?

Fractions and decimals can both be used in one-step equations. The method of solving stays the same: isolate the variable using inverse operations.
