Simplify
13x-9-4x
9x-9
Solve for x:
3x = 12
x = 4
The following equations are equivalent:
6x + 12 = 30
12x + 6 = 42
True --> x = 3
This acronym is a good way to remember the order of operations.
What is PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally)?
Simplify
3(4x-9)
12x-27
Solve for x:
6x = 2(x+20)
x = 10
When setting up an equation with R(I)+C=O, the variable, "I", is representative of the initial value.
False --> I = Input
Two expressions separated by an equals sign
What is an equation?

Solve for x:
7x = 2(4x-10)
x = 20
The "P" in PEMDAS stands for Parenthesis
True
Numbers and symbols in a group with no equals sign
What is an expression?
Simplify

What are equivalent equations?
Simplify
6x(3x-2)-4(5x-3)
18x2-32x+12
Solve for x:
5x-4 = 2x+5
x = 3
The Constant, "c", does not change in value.
True.
While this term may primarily be known as a male name of Spanish origin that means "Brave Ruler", it is also a useful acronym for anybody struggling with how to set up an equation.
What is... R*(I)+C =O?
R=Rate of Change I=Input Value C=Constant Value O=Output Value
