Front

Solve: -2s = -38

Back

s = 19

Front

Solve: -9 = 28 + y

Back

y = -37

Front

What operation would you use to isolate n in the equation n - 6 = -11?

Back

Add 6 to both sides.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 2.5n = 35?

Back

Divide both sides by 2.5.

Front

If you have the equation n + 4 = 10, what is the value of n?

Back

n = 6

Front

What does it mean to 'isolate the variable' in an equation?

Back

To isolate the variable means to get the variable alone on one side of the equation.
