Key Concepts

Solving by Isolation

This method involves rearranging the equation to get the variable on one side by performing the same operation on both sides of the equation. In the process, operations such as division or multiplication are used to remove coefficients attached to the variable.

Checking Solutions

After finding a solution, it is important to check it by substituting the value back into the original equation. This verifies that the solution satisfies the equation, ensuring the steps followed during solving were accurate.

Linear Equations

A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which the highest power of the variable is one. It has a constant rate of change and can typically be solved by isolating the variable on one side of the equation using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
