Worksheet
One-step equations
1

Determine whether or not the given value of x is a solution to the following equations:

a

8 x = 51 where x = 6

b

2 x = 2 \times 4 where x = 4

c

\dfrac{x}{2} = 8 where x = 19

d

\dfrac{x}{3} = 8 where x = 24

2

For each of the following one-step equations, describe the step required to solve it:

a

x - 5 = 4

b

x - 4.5 = 6.8

c

9 x = 7 + 8 x

d

\dfrac{x}{4.1} = 7.6

e

4.1 x = 94.3

3

Solve:

a

x - 8 = - 20

b

x + 6 = 15

c

x + 12 = 9

d

21 = x + 13

e

x + 4 = 9

f

t - 15 = 0

g

x - 7 = 7

h

x - 4 = 10

i

7 = x - 1

j

6 = - 16 + n

k

n + 27 = 11

l

x - 21 = - 25

m

x - 3 = - 5

4

Solve:

a

x +2.4 = 7.2

b

x - 4.75= -10.25

c

x - 1.39 = 8.67

d

x - \dfrac{2}{5} = \dfrac{2}{5}

e

x + \dfrac{1}{5} = \dfrac{3}{5}

f

x - \dfrac{5}{8} = \dfrac{1}{8}

g

x - \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{1}{8}

h

t - \dfrac{5}{8} = \dfrac{5}{7}

5

Solve:

a

5 x = 45

b

3 x = 18

c

10 t = 60

d

9 t = 3

e

7 t = 56

f

4 \times n = 20

g

88 = 11 \times n

h

12 = 3 x

i

\dfrac{x}{8} = 6

j

6 = \dfrac{x}{8}

k

\dfrac{t}{10} = 9

l

\dfrac{t}{6} = 10

m

\dfrac{x}{9} = 3

n

\dfrac{1}{8} x = 6

o

4 x = - 28

p

- 5 x = 30

q

- 7 x = 0

r

- 7 x = - 28

s

- x = 3

t

2 = - x

u

- 10 x = - 50

6

Solve:

a

- \dfrac{1}{8} x = 6

b

- 5 = \dfrac{x}{5}

c

- 6 = \dfrac{y}{- 7}

d

\dfrac{1}{8} x = - 8

e

- \dfrac{1}{8} x = - 8

f

88 = 11 n

g

4 n = 27.2

h

5.9n = 177

i

36.5 = 7.3 n

j

\dfrac{4}{9} n = 10

k

\dfrac{y}{- 5} = - 5

7

Find the number for each scenario:

a

When 10 is added to a number, the result is 12.

b

When a number is multiplied by 10, the result is 60.

Applications
8

Emilia and Dara are buying a \$350 kayak together. Emilia contributed \$m, and Dara contributed \$210.

a

Write an equation that represents the relationship between the amounts each contributed.

b

How much money did Emilia contribute to the kayak?

9

Kate and Isabelle do some fundraising for their sporting team. Together they raised \$600. If Kate raised \$272 more than Isabelle, and Isabelle raised \$p:

a

Write an equation in terms of p that represents the relationship between the different amounts and solve for p.

b

Finally, calculate how much Kate raised.
