Introduction to Solving One-step Equations Using Integers

A basket of apples sitting in the grass The apples are picked--now it's time to divvy them up!
After a day of apple picking, Jessica, Mark, and Kim decide to split up their apples equally. In their shared basket, they count 3939 apples total. How many apples can each of them take home? To find out, they'll need to use division in a one-step variable equation. In this section, you'll learn how to maintain equality on both sides of the equation and solve for a variable.  

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this section, you will be able to:
  • Determine whether an integer is a solution of an equation
  • Solve equations with integers using the Addition and Subtraction Properties of Equality
  • Model the Division Property of Equality
  • Solve equations using the Division Property of Equality
  • Translate to an equation and solve
