Front

What is the value of the blue tear drop if it is given as 3 in a balanced equation?

Back

The blue tear drop is equal to 3.

Front

In a balanced equation, if the total weight is 16 and the blue tear drop is 3, what do the green heart and blue quadrilateral equal?

Back

The green heart equals 2 and the blue quadrilateral equals 8.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 5x + 4 = x + 7?

Back

You need to subtract 4 from both sides.

Front

What can be removed from both sides of a balanced equation without affecting the balance?

Back

You can cross out 2 circles from each side.

Front

If the circle is valued at 2 and each triangle at 1, how can you simplify the equation 4x + 6 = 2x + 10 while keeping it balanced?

Back

You can subtract 2x from both sides.

Front

What is another step that can be taken to simplify the equation 4x + 6 = 2x + 10 while maintaining balance?

Back

You can subtract 6 from both sides.

Front

What does it mean for an equation to be balanced?

Back

An equation is balanced when both sides have the same value.

Front

How do you isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

You can isolate a variable by performing inverse operations on both sides of the equation.

Front

What is the principle of maintaining balance in equations?

Back

The principle states that whatever operation you perform on one side of the equation must also be performed on the other side.

Front

What is the significance of coefficients in an equation?

Back

Coefficients represent the number of units of a variable in an equation.
