What a question looks like

Example questionSolve for x: x − 3 = 2.

Answer: 5

  1. Add 3 to both sides: x = 2 + 3 = 5.
Teaching notes

Use this practice well

Name the operation applied to the variable, undo it on both sides, and substitute the answer back into the original equation. The worked key makes that check visible.

What this develops

Solve one-operation equations and check the value of the unknown.

A mistake to watch for

Changing only one side of an equation breaks the equality even when the variable becomes isolated.

Ways to use it

  • Introduce inverse operations.
  • Practise a single algebra move.
  • Diagnose which operation causes errors.

Scope and limits

Equations use one variable and one solving step.
