Original Prompt

turn this into a worksheet with additional practice: One-Step Equations with Decimals - Practice Worksheet Guided Practice: Example: x - 3.8 = 5.6 Step 1: Identify the operation. Step 2: Use the inverse operation. Step 3: Solve: x = 9.4 Step 4: Check: 9.4 - 3.8 = 5.6 Independent Practice: 1. y + 4.6 = 9.2 2. a - 5.1 = 2.3 3. m + 7.8 = 12.5 4. k - 3.4 = 6.9 5. x + 2.75 = 8.1 6. p - 4.2 = 1.7 7. r + 6.05 = 10.3 8. t - 2.9 = 7.4 9. w + 3.2 = 5.9 10. h - 7.6 = 0.8

This learning resource focuses on solving one-step decimal equations through the application of inverse operations. The document outlines a structured approach to mastering this skill, beginning with a guided practice that provides an example equation and breaks down the solution into four clear steps: identifying the operation, using the inverse operation, solving for the variable, and checking the answer for accuracy. Students are then given the chance to practice independently with various equations that require the same four-step method, reinforcing their learning by applying the strategies outlined in the guided practice. Overall, the goal is to enable students to confidently solve and verify one-step equations that involve decimals.
