Words: Variable, Constant, Coefficient, Term, Isolate, Inverse Operation, Distributive Property.
Constant
Simplify:
3(x+2) + 2x
5x + 6
x/4 = 10
40
-10 = -2x + 12
x = 11
3x - 12 = -4x + 2
x=2
When we get a variable by itself on one side of an equation
Words: Variable, Constant, Coefficient, Term, Isolate, Inverse Operation, Distributive Property.
Isolate
Simplify:
5x - 4(-5x + 7) + 4
25x - 24
2/3x =8
x =12
5/3x-7=13
x = 12
-10z + 15 + 4z = -8 + 2z + 15
z = 1
