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.
