Back

The goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation to find its value.

Front

What does the multiplication property of equality state?

Back

If you multiply both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What does the division property of equality state?

Back

If you divide both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What does the addition property of equality state?

Back

If you add the same number to both sides of an equation, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What does the subtraction property of equality state?

Back

If you subtract the same number from both sides of an equation, the two sides remain equal.

Front

How do you solve the equation x + 5 = 12?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x = 12 - 5, so x = 7.

Front

How do you solve the equation 3x = 15?

Back

Divide both sides by 3: x = 15 / 3, so x = 5.

Front

How do you solve the equation x - 4 = 10?

Back

Add 4 to both sides: x = 10 + 4, so x = 14.

Front

How do you solve the equation 2x = 8?

Back

Divide both sides by 2: x = 8 / 2, so x = 4.
