One-step multiplication & division equations Show A one-step equation is an algebraic equation you can solve in only one step. You've solved the equation when you get the variable by itself, with no numbers in front of it, on one side of the equal sign. One-step multiplication & division equationsDownload Article Download Article An equation is a mathematical sentence that expresses two equal values.[1] In algebra you will often work with equations, which have an unknown value represented by a variable. To solve such equations, you need to find the value of the variable. A one-step equation is one in which you only have to perform one operation to determine the unknown value, and so these type of equations are the easiest to solve.

To solve one-step equations, we do the inverse (opposite) of whatever operation is being performed on the variable, so we get the variable by itself. ... . The most important thing to remember is that whatever you do to one side of the equation, you have to do the same thing to the other side.. What is an example of a one step equation?Examples of one-step equations. What is a one step equation called?Algebraic equations involving fractions as coefficients and constant terms that can be solved in just one step are called one step equations with fractions. To solve such equations, we add, subtract, multiply or divide the equation with an appropriate fraction to isolate the variable.
