I can solve one-step equations using inverse operations.

  • 1

    Inverse operations are used to solve one-step equations by isolating the variable.

  • 2

    To solve the equation x + 5 = 12, you must subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

  • 3

    The inverse operation of division is multiplication, so to solve a/4 = 6, you multiply both sides by 4.
