Key Concepts

Properties of Equality

The properties of equality are fundamental rules used when solving equations, including adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing both sides by the same number. These rules ensure that the balance of the equation is maintained while manipulating it to isolate the variable.

Variable Isolation

Variable isolation is the process of rearranging an equation to have the variable by itself on one side. This typically involves performing inverse operations to remove any other terms surrounding the variable, allowing for a straightforward determination of its value.

Linear Equations

A linear equation is an algebraic statement of equality that forms a straight line when graphed. It involves variables raised only to the first power and constants, and its solutions are found where the expression on one side exactly equals the expression on the other.
