Topics in Simple Linear Equations

1

1. Equation, Variable, and Solution

  • An equation is a statement that the two expressions are equal.
  • A variable is the unknown quantity in an equation, usually written as x, y, or z.
  • A solution or root is the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
2

2. Operations That Keep an Equation Unchanged

  • The same number can be added to both sides of an equation without changing it.
  • The same number can be subtracted from both sides without changing it.
  • The same number can be multiplied to both sides without changing it.
3

3. Solving Equations by the Short-Cut Method

  • Transposing means moving a term from one side of an equation to the other side.
  • When a positive term is transposed, its sign changes to negative.
  • When a negative term is transposed, its sign changes to positive.
4

4. Contextual Problems and Two-Step Equations

  • A contextual problem has two operations, and the final solution depends on the first operation.
  • A common two-step form is 3x + 8 = 14.
  • First isolate the term with the variable, then isolate the variable itself.
