Solving One-Step Equations - Algebra I

In this video, you will learn how to solve a one step equation. An equation is two mathematical expressions that are equal to one another. When solving a one step equation, you are solving for the value of the variable. A variable is an unknown value in math that is substituted by a lower case letter, often x. In order to find the value of the variable, you must isolate the variable, or in other words get it by itself. To do this, you must use inverse operations. Inverse Operations are opposite operations. The inverse pairs are addition and subtraction & multiplication and division.
