Solving linear equations with variables on both sides
Topic Notes
When you want to solve a linear equation with variables on both sides, the first step is to isolate the variables to one side. Once you have done that, we can do subtraction, addition, cross multiplication, or any other necessary steps to solve the equation.
Basic Concepts
- Solving linear equations using multiplication and division
- Solving two-step linear equations: ax + b = c, x/a + b = c
- Solving linear equations using distributive property: a(x + b) = c
