g + 5 = 33
g = 28
3k - 5 = 7k - 21
k = 4
Solve y=mx+b for m
m = (y-b)⁄x
The goal of solving equations is to
Isolate the variable
r - (-19) = -77
r = -96
c⁄-3 + 5 = 7
c = -6
Solve 4b - 5 = -t for b
b = (5-t)⁄4
OR b = (-t+5)/4
The inverse of division is ___________.
multiplication
-v⁄5 = -45
v = 225
Solve (6c-t)⁄7 = b for c
c = (7b+t)⁄6
The inverse of addition is _____________.
2⁄5g = -14
g = -35
(9z+4)⁄5 - 8 = -6
2⁄3
Solve c = 3⁄4y + b for y
y = 4⁄3(c-b)
We accomplish that goal by "undoing" operations using ___________
Inverse Operations
-10 + r = 20
30
2x + 1 + 3x = 6
1
(a-4) = (2a+4)
a = -8
Solve (5x+y)⁄a = 2 for a
a = (5x+y)⁄2
We only combine like terms when the variables are
on the same side of the equation
