Solving Simple Algebraic Equations
What is an Equation? An equation is like a balanced scale. Whatever you have on the left side must equal what's on the right side.
The Golden Rule: Whatever operation you do to one side of the equation, you MUST do to the other side to keep it balanced!
Inverse Operations:
• Addition ↔ Subtraction (opposites)
• Multiplication ↔ Division (opposites)
One-Step Addition
x + 3 = 7
Goal: Get x alone
Step: Subtract 3 from both sides
x + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3
Answer: x = 4
Step: Subtract 3 from both sides
x + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3
Answer: x = 4
One-Step Subtraction
x - 2 = 5
Goal: Get x alone
Step: Add 2 to both sides
x - 2 + 2 = 5 + 2
Answer: x = 7
Step: Add 2 to both sides
x - 2 + 2 = 5 + 2
Answer: x = 7
One-Step Division
x/2 = 3
Goal: Get x alone
Step: Multiply both sides by 2
(x/2) × 2 = 3 × 2
Answer: x = 6
Step: Multiply both sides by 2
(x/2) × 2 = 3 × 2
Answer: x = 6
Isolate x on one side of the equation by applying the same operations to both sides. When you have x alone on one side and its value on the other, you've solved the equation!
