Solving One-Step Equations Worksheet

Question 1

Solve for x: x + 7 = 19

Accepted Answer

Subtract 7 from both sides to get x = 12. The solution is x = 12.

Question 2

Solve for y: y - 5 = 14

Accepted Answer

Add 5 to both sides to get y = 19. The solution is y = 19.

Question 3

Solve for n: 4n = 36

Accepted Answer

Divide both sides by 4 to get n = 9. The solution is n = 9.

Question 4

Solve for a: a/6 = 8

Accepted Answer

Multiply both sides by 6 to get a = 48. The solution is a = 48.

Question 5

Solve for m: m + (-3) = 11

Accepted Answer

Add 3 to both sides to get m = 14. The solution is m = 14.

Question 6

Solve for p: p - 12 = -4

Accepted Answer

Add 12 to both sides to get p = 8. The solution is p = 8.

Question 7

Solve for k: -5k = 45

Accepted Answer

Divide both sides by -5 to get k = -9. The solution is k = -9.

Question 8

Solve for r: r/(-7) = 3

Accepted Answer

Multiply both sides by -7 to get r = -21. The solution is r = -21.

Question 9

Solve for c: c + 2.5 = 9

Accepted Answer

Subtract 2.5 from both sides to get c = 6.5. The solution is c = 6.5.

Question 10

Solve for t: t - 3/4 = 2

Accepted Answer

Add 3/4 to both sides to get t = 2 3/4, which is also 11/4. The solution is t = 2 3/4.

Question 11

Solve for x: x/5 = -6

Accepted Answer

Multiply both sides by 5 to get x = -30. The solution is x = -30.

Question 12

Solve for d: 0.2d = 4

Accepted Answer

Divide both sides by 0.2 to get d = 20. The solution is d = 20.

Question 13

Solve for q: -q = 17

Accepted Answer

Multiply or divide both sides by -1 to get q = -17. The solution is q = -17.

Question 14

Solve for g: g + 1/6 = 5/6

Accepted Answer

Subtract 1/6 from both sides to get g = 4/6. Simplifying 4/6 gives g = 2/3. The solution is g = 2/3.

Question 15

A movie ticket costs $6. After buying the ticket, Maya has $18 left. Write and solve a one-step equation to find how much money Maya had before buying the ticket.

Accepted Answer

Let m be the amount of money Maya had before buying the ticket. The equation is m - 6 = 18. Add 6 to both sides to get m = 24, so Maya had $24.
