What is the first step in solving equations?

• Simplify expressions on both sides

• Move variables to one side

• Check the answer

• Use inverse operations

How do you verify your solution to an equation?

• None of the above

• Graph the equation

What must you do when dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number?

• Nothing

• Add 1 to both sides

• Subtract 1 from both sides

• Flip the inequality sign

What indicates an equation has no solution?

• All of the above

• Variables cancel out to zero

• Variables are different on both sides

• Same variables but different constants

What indicates an equation has infinite solutions?

• Different variables on both sides

• Same variables and different constants

• Same variables and same constants

• No variables present
