Solving Simple Equations

When solving equations, you are "isolating" the variable. What does it mean to "isolate" the variable?

• To get the variable alone on one side of the equation?

• To remove the constant from one side of the equation, but leave the coefficient

• To remove the coefficient from one side of the equation, but leave the constant

• To have the variable equal zero
