Linear Equations (One Variable) Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll practice

This Algebra quiz focuses on solving linear equations with one variable, including distributing, combining like terms, and handling fractions or decimals.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can prioritize clean steps over speed.

Difficulty and quiz setup

Difficulty is mixed by design: easier items build confidence, while harder ones test multi-step reasoning and careful arithmetic. You can also choose your question count and difficulty before starting to tailor the session to quick practice or a longer review.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Forgetting to distribute a negative sign or multiplier across parentheses
Combining unlike terms (mixing constants and x-terms incorrectly)
Losing track of signs when moving terms across the equals sign
Making fraction mistakes when clearing denominators or simplifying
Not checking the solution by substituting back into the original equation

Tips to improve quickly

Write one transformation per line and keep the equation balanced by doing the same operation on both sides. When an answer looks suspicious, plug it back in—verification catches most sign and arithmetic errors instantly.
