Subtraction
This step must be done to get the variable by itself.
x - 3 = 9
What is add 3 to both sides?
This step must be done to get the variable by itself.
x + 3 = 9
What is subtract 3 from both sides?
This must be done to get p by itself.
8p = 32
What is divide both sides by 8?
This gets the variable r by itself.
r/4 = 2
What is multiply 4 to both sides?
This is the first step in solving for y.
3y - 5 = 10
What is add 5 to both sides?
This step must be done to get the variable by itself.
-5 + y = 12
What is add 5 to both sides?
This step must be done to get the variable by itself.
9 + y = 9
N represents this number in the equation.
4n = 28
What is 7?
The special rule only applies when doing these types of problems.
What is multiplying and dividing?
This number is always last to be moved in the equation.
What is the number with the variable?
The variable w represents this number.
w - 4 = -3
What is 1?
m + 12 = -8
What is -20?
When the number with the variable is a negative, the inequality does this.
What is it flips directions?
The answer to this equation is.
y/2 = 18
What is 36?
The w in this equation represents this number.
-3 + w/2 = 7
What is 20?
This step must be done to get the variable by itself.
x - 14 > 9
What is add 14 to both sides?
This inequality represents the correct answer.
y + 7 > 8
What is y > 1.
This must be done to get y by itself.
7y < 49
What is divide both sides by 7?
This inequality sign will do this in the problem.
y/3 < 10
What is stay the same?
The variable y represents this inequality.
6y + 7 > 19
What is y > 2?
This represents what the value of x is.
-6 + x < 10
What is x < 16.
This represents what the value of x is.
10 + x < -30
What is x < -40.
The answer to this inequality can be represented by this equation.
-8x > -24
What is x < 3?
The answer to this inequality can be represented by this equation.
x/-5 < 10
What is x > -50?
The variable n represents this inequality.
9 + n/-2 < -1
What is n > 20?
