4. Undo addition or subtraction 5 steps to follow when Solving Equations (isolating x) 1. 2. 3. 4. Undo addition or subtraction 5. Undo multiplication or division
4. Undo addition or subtraction 5 steps to follow when Solving Equations (isolating x) 4. Undo addition or subtraction On the side of the = with x, look for the number that is by itself Undo (+) numbers with subtraction (–) Undo (–) numbers with addition (+)
5. Undo multiplication or division 5 steps to follow when Solving Equations (isolating x) 5. Undo multiplication or division On the side of the = with x, look for the number that is attached to x Undo multiplication with division Undo division with multiplication **If the number you’re getting rid of is negative, the number you’re •/÷ is also negative!!**
Undo addition and subtraction first, Undo multiplication and division Ex #1 TWO-STEP EQUATIONS 3x + 7 = -8 Undo addition and subtraction first, - 7 - 7 3x -15 THEN 3 3 Undo multiplication and division x -5 x = -5 GOAL: to get x by itself
Undo addition and subtraction first, Undo multiplication and division Ex #2 Undo addition and subtraction first, +4 +4 THEN 6 • -3 • 6 Undo multiplication and division -18 x x = -18 GOAL: to get x by itself
