QUIZ- One and Two-step equations

Exercise 1: Solve the following equations

a) 𝒌 + 𝟐𝟑 = 𝟒𝟔 b) 𝒉 − 𝟔𝟒 = −𝟓 c) −𝒖 = 𝟓𝟒

𝒌 =…… 𝒉 =…… 𝒖 =……

d) 𝟗𝒎 = −𝟐𝟕 e) 𝒑 − 𝟒𝟏 = −𝟗𝟑 f) 𝟑𝒕 = 𝟗

𝒏 =…… 𝒑 =…… 𝒕 =……

g) 𝒖 h) 𝒏 + 𝟑𝟐 = 𝟒𝟕 i) 𝒛
= −𝟕 = −𝟐𝟎
−𝟒 𝟓

𝒖 =…… 𝒏 =…… 𝒛 =……

Exercise 2: Solve the following equations

a) −𝟓𝒙 + 𝒙 = 𝟏𝟐 b) 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝒚 − 𝟏𝟎𝟏𝒚 = −𝟔 c) 𝟓𝒂 + 𝟐𝒂 = −𝟒𝟗

𝒙 =…… 𝒚 =…… 𝒂 =……

d) 𝒑 + 𝟐𝒑 + 𝟓 = −𝟖 e) 𝟓𝟎𝒌 − 𝟓𝟏𝒌 − 𝟓 = −𝟏𝟎 f) 𝟔𝒍 + 𝟖𝒍 − 𝟕 = 𝟏𝟒

𝒑 =…… 𝒌 =…… 𝒍 =……

Exercise 3: Two-step equation maze. Start from the “Begin” square. Solve the equation, find
the correct answer will lead you to another equation that you need to solve. Reach the end.
Circle/Colour the correct answer and show the working out. The first one is done for you.
