Write And Solve One-Step Equations (Word Problems) Worksheet

8 problems

6th Grade students are expected to have a solid understanding of equations. One of the key skills that they should master is solving one-step equations word problems. Teachers can use below  "Write and solve one-step equations (word problems) Worksheet" to help their students practice this skill. 

 

This worksheet typically includes a series of word problems that require students to translate the given information into mathematical equations. Students then solve these equations to find the value of the variable.

For example: "Jennifer bought a notebook and three pens for $7. If each pen costs $1.50, how much did the notebook cost?"


 

Solution:

 

To solve this problem, students must first assign a variable, such as "c" to represent the cost of the notebook. Then, they can write an equation that represents the total cost: c + 3(1.5) = 7. 

 c + 4.5 = 7

Isolate c by using inverse operation.
c + 4.5 = 7

         c = 7 - 4.5

         c = 2.5

Therefore, the cost of the notebook is $2.5.
