One-Step Linear Equations

Use the inverse operation to get the variable by itself. Substitute your answer into the original equation to check it.

Solve each equation

Find the value of the variable that makes each equation true.

1.Solve x + 9 = 23. What is x?
2.Solve 6a = 42. What is a?
3.Solve b - 13 = 8. What is b?
4.Solve 45 ÷ c = 9. What is c?
5.Which value of t makes t ÷ 4 = 6 true?
  • 10
  • 24
  • 2
  • 20
6.Which operation should you use first to solve r - 7 = 16?
  • Subtract 7 from both sides
  • Add 7 to both sides
  • Multiply both sides by 7
  • Divide both sides by 7

Substitute and calculate

Replace the variable with its given value, then work out the result.

7.Evaluate m + 15 when m = 8.
8.Evaluate 4n - 5 when n = 6.
9.Evaluate 32 ÷ q when q = 8.
10.Evaluate 3p + 2 when p = 9.

Match equations and solutions

Match each equation to the value of its variable.

11.Match each equation with its solution.
  • u + 11 = 19
  • 5v = 35
  • w - 6 = 10
  • 28 ÷ s = 4
  • v = 7
  • u = 8
  • s = 7
  • w = 16

Equations in everyday situations

Write an equation or expression, then use it to find the answer.

12.Zoe had some shells. She collected 7 more and then had 24 shells. Let s be the number she started with. Write an equation and find s.
13.Hemi shares 36 marbles equally among g bags, putting 6 marbles in each bag. Write an equation and find how many bags he uses.
14.A ticket costs $8. Maia buys 5 tickets. Write an expression for the total cost and calculate it.
