Finding mistakes in one-step equations
Gain a deeper understanding of solving one-step equations by studying a correct and an incorrect example.
Solving one-step equations is all about using inverse operations on both sides of an equation to get the variable by itself. Answer the questions below to deepen your understanding of how to solve one-step equations.

- If the value of x in the answer does not make the original equation true, then there’s a mistake somewhere.
This means that checking whether or not your value of x makes the original equation true greatly reduces the frequency of mistakes on homework and tests.(25 votes)

- Later in algebra, you will encounter two-step equations and then equations with more than two steps, including equations with parentheses and/or the variable on both sides. A strong understanding of one-step equations will help you solve multi-step equations later on.(10 votes)
