What to Focus On

  • General form: ax + b = 0, a ≠ 0
  • A solution is the value that makes the equation true
  • Balance method keeps both sides equal

  • Choose a variable first
  • Convert words into algebra carefully
  • Solve the equation step by step

  • Age problems compare present and future ages
  • Consecutive integers differ by 1
  • Perimeter of rectangle: P = 2(l + b)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A linear equation in two variables has only one solution.

In a linear equation, the variable can have any power as long as it looks simple.

When a term moves across the equal sign, its value stays the same sign.
