What does it mean to isolate a variable?

Back

To isolate a variable means to manipulate an equation so that the variable is on one side of the equation by itself.

Front

Solve the equation: 8w = 64

Back

w = 8

Front

Solve the equation: X + 8 = 15

Back

X = 7

Front

Solve the equation: 18 = 3b

Back

b = 6

Front

Solve the equation: 2y = 18

Back

y = 9

Front

Solve the equation: x - 5.5 = -10.5

Back

x = -5

Front

What operation would you use to solve the equation: w + 5 = 12?

Back

You would subtract 5 from both sides to isolate w.

Front

What is the solution to the equation: 4 + w = 10?

Back

w = 6

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.
