Front

Find the solution to the equation: 2(3x - 4) = 10

Back

x = 3

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation: 2x + 3 = 11?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with x.

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

To manipulate the equation so that the variable is on one side and all other terms are on the other side.

Front

What is the solution to the equation: x/2 + 3 = 7?

Back

x = 8

Front

How do you check if your solution to an equation is correct?

Back

Substitute the solution back into the original equation to see if both sides are equal.

Front

What is the principle of balancing equations?

Back

Whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other side to maintain equality.
