2-1 Solving One-Step Equations
An equation is a mathematical statement that
two expressions are equal.
A solution of an equation is a value of the
variable that makes the equation true. A
solution set is the set of all solutions. Finding
the solutions of an equation is also called solving
the equation.
2-1 Solving One-Step Equations
To find solutions, perform inverse operations
until you have isolated the variable. A variable
is isolated when it appears by itself on one side
of an equation, and not at all on the other side.
Inverse Operations
Add x.
Multiply by x.
Subtract x.
Divide by x.
An equation is like a balanced scale. To keep the
balance, you must perform the same inverse
operation on both sides.

Writing Math
Solution sets are written in set notation
using braces, { }. Solutions may be given
in set notation, or they may be given in the
form x = 14.

Additional Example 1A: Solving Equations by Using
Addition or Subtraction
Solve the equation.
y – 8 = 24
+8 +8
y = 32
Since 8 is subtracted from
y, add 8 to both sides to
undo the subtraction.
The solution set is {32}.
Check
y – 8 = 24
32 – 8

To check your solution,
substitute 32 for y in the
original equation.

Additional Example 1B: Solving Equations by Using
Addition
Solve the equation.
4.2 = t + 1.8
–1.8
–1.8
2.4 = t
Check 4.2 = t + 1.8
4.2 2.4 + 1.8
4.2 4.2 
Since 1.8 is added to t,
subtract 1.8 from both sides
to undo the addition.

2-1 Solving One-Step Equations
When solving equations, you will sometimes
find it easier to add an opposite to both
sides instead of subtracting or to multiply by
a reciprocal instead of dividing. This is often
true when an equation contains negative
numbers or fractions.
