Answer Key & Solutions
Solving Linear Equations (1-Step & 2-Step) Worksheet
#1:
12
Subtract 7 from both sides: x = 19 - 7 = 12.
#2:
23
Add 8 to both sides: x = 15 + 8 = 23.
#3:
9
Divide both sides by 4: x = 36 ÷ 4 = 9.
#4:
40
Multiply both sides by 5: x = 8 × 5 = 40.
#5:
6
2x = 17 - 5 = 12 → x = 12 ÷ 2 = 6.
#6:
8
3x = 20 + 4 = 24 → x = 24 ÷ 3 = 8.
#7:
7
5x = 38 - 3 = 35 → x = 35 ÷ 5 = 7.
#8:
9
4x = 27 + 9 = 36 → x = 36 ÷ 4 = 9.
#9:
4
Subtract 2: 6x = 24. Divide by 6: x = 4.
#10:
11
Add 7: 2x = 22. Divide by 2: x = 11.
