One-Step Equations (Easy)

This free printable worksheet gives 6th and 7th graders their first practice solving for x. Numbers stay small and every solution is a whole number, so students can focus on the big idea: undoing an operation to isolate the variable.

How to Solve Pre-Algebra

Undo the operation done to x by applying its inverse to both sides. If the equation says x + 7 = 15, subtract 7 from both sides to get x = 8. If it says 4x = 28, divide both sides by 4. Check every answer by substituting it back into the original equation.
