7x = 3x + 24

• 6
• 10
• 14
• 4

What is the goal when solving algebraic equations?

• to get the answer

• to isolate the variable (get the variable by itself)

• to get rid of the equal sign

• to divide

n + 3.5 = 6.7

• n = 3.2

• n = 10.2

7.4 = n - 2.6

• n = 4.8

• n = 10

• 4.8

• 10

q + 10 = 22

• 32

• q = 12

• 12

• q = 32

7r = 56

• r = 8

• r = 392

• r = 7

• r = 56
