Solving Simple Equations

Think the equation as a balanceIf you do something to one side of the equation, you must do

the same to the other side When solving an equation like [x+8=12], you need to get the

[x] by itself

if a question has an [x] and a [y] then try to use substitution

Solving Simple Equations (cont.)

When it comes to a equation like [ 2x=2], you need to divide2 to both sides to get the answer

If you really have no clue what to do, dont guess aimlessly.Try to eliminate some answers

And if all else fails, try and use substitution!

Example

For this example, I will use the equation x+8=12The first thing you need to do is isolate the x by turning the

8 into a - and subtracting 8 on both sides of the equal signYou should now have x=4 How did I get that answer? I subtracted (-8) and 12

Example

Now for the next example, Im going to use the equation [2x-3=5]

You need to isolate the x right? But look! The 3 you need to subtractwith 5 with, is already a negative

In this situation, the -3 turns into a +3 and you ADDthe 3 withthe 5

Now, you should have [2x=8], since you added the 3 and the 5

Now you only want the result of one x not 2, so you need to dividethe 2 in 2x by 8

The answer should be [x=4]

Similes

A simile is a figure of speechIt is a comparison that contains the words as and like

ex.- her eyes were as green as emeralds
