Algebra Review“Solving Equations” August 23rd 2012
Inverse Operations… • To solve algebraic equations, we use inverse operations. To get the variable by itself, we do the opposite. • Ex: subtraction gets rid of addition multiplication gets rid of division Balancing the Equation… • Whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other
One-Step Equations 3x = 12 x – 5 = 2
Two-Step Equations 2x – 1 = 11 5 – 3x = 20
Multi-Step Equations 4( x – 1 ) = 20 2 ( 3x + 2 ) + 5 = 21
Equations w/ Variable on Both Sides 3x – 6 = 5x + 8 7x + 10 = x - 2
Complex Equations 2x + 7 – 5x = 4(x + 2) - 3
