2.2 Solving Equations
Standard 5.0: Students solve multistep
problems, including word problems,
involving linear equations and linear
inequalities in one variable and provide
justification for each step.
Solving One-Step Equations
*You must get the variable by itself. You can
move numbers over by using the opposite
operation.
Examples:
x+5=7
x–4=-3
x – (-3) = 10
Try It Out!
Solve the following equations.
1) x + 2 = 7
2) x - 6 = -3
3) x + (-3) = 2
4) x - 5 = -6

1) Solve. -5t = 60
To get the variable by itself, which
number needs to be moved?
-5
To move the -5, you have to do the
opposite operation. What
operation will we use?
