One Step Equations GCSE Maths
One step equations are usually the first algebra equations students learn in GCSE Maths.
Simple Example
Solve:
x + 4 = 11
Subtract 4 from both sides:
x = 7
Exam tip: Whatever you do to one side of the equation, do the same to the other.
Common mistake: Some students only change one side of the equation and make it unbalanced.
