E N D
What is being done to the variable? • 2x +1 =5 • X is being multiplied by 2 and added to 1
What is being done to the variable? • Y is being divided by -7 and added by -9
Goal: • To get x all by itself on one side of the equation. You do this by unwrapping the variable.
Unwrap the variable • By doing the opposite operation in the reverse order
What are the opposite operations in the reverse order? 2x +1 =5 What is being done to x : multiplied by 2 and added to 1 Opposite operation in reverse order: subtract 1 and divide by 2
What are the opposite operations in the reverse order? • What is being done to y: Dividing by -7 and adding a - 9 • Opposite operation in reverse order: subtract a -9 or add a 9 and multiply by-7
