Definition
- In algebra, an equation can be defined as a mathematical sentence composed of an equal symbol between two algebraic expressions that have the same value.
- One-variable equation is a mathematical statement that is consist of a variable and whose left-hand side is exactly the same as what’s on the right-hand side.
Summary
Equation |
It is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign. Equation represents balance. |

Examples of One-Variable Equation | Non-examples of One-Variable Equations |
2x = 4 -m = 2½ r -13 = 55(w – 7) = 26 | 2x – 3r11c – 525m – 4n + 7100 |
Here are the commonly used properties of equality when solving one-variable equations. If a, b, and c are real numbers, then…
Reflexive Property | Symmetric Property | Transitive Property |
a = a | If a = b , then b=a | If a = b and b = c, then a = c |
Distributive Property | Addition Property of Equality (APE) | Multiplication Property of Equality (MPE) |
a(b+c) = ab + ac | If a = b, then a + c = b + c | If a = b, then a x c = b x c |
Please take note of following steps in solving one-variable equations.
- Simplify both sides of the equation.
- Use the addition property of equality to put the terms with variable on one side of the equation and the constant terms on the other.
- Use the multiplication property of equality to make the coefficient of the variable term equal to 1.
- Check your answer by substituting your solution into the original equation.
