Modeling Solving Equations
Solving equations is all about keeping the BALANCE! Whatever you do to one side of the equal side you MUST do the exact same to the other side.
Tips for solving equations:
Tips for solving equations:
- Get the variable on one side of the equal side and the constants on the other side.
- To clear constants from the variable, perform the opposite operation.
- When a constant is added to a variable, you must subtract it from both sides.
- When a constant is subtracted from the variable, you must add it to both sides.
- When a variable is multiplied by a constant, divide both sides by that number to find how much one is worth.
- When a variable is divided by a constant, multiply both sides by the reciprocal to find the value of one.
