One-Step Equations with Models

A one-step equation is an algebraic equation that can be solved in a single step by performing the same operation on both sides of the equation.

In this equation, 'p' represents the total number of pencils in the box before Hadlee took 6 pencils.

To solve for p, add 6 to both sides: p = 18 + 6, so p = 24.

To find w, divide both sides by 8: w = 64 / 8, so w = 8.

This equation means that three times a number x equals 9.

Multiply both sides by 9 to get y = 3 * 9, so y = 27.

Multiply both sides by -8 to isolate t: t = -5 * -8, so t = 40.

This equation states that if you add 3 to a number x, the result is 9.

Subtract 9 from both sides: x = 3 - 9, so x = -6.

The coefficient 8 indicates how many times w is multiplied to equal 64; thus, w is 8.
