Understanding Equations

  • When solving equations, the goal is to isolate the variable (often represented as 'x') to determine its value.
  • Equations involve balancing both sides by performing the same operations on each side.

Solving Equations Step by Step

  • Given an equation like 6 x = 15, follow these steps:
  • First, move all terms except the variable to one side of the equation. For instance, subtract 6 from both sides:
    • 6 x - 6 = x
  • Next, solve for the variable. Continuing with the example, subtract 6 from 15 on the right side:
    • 15 - 6 = 9
  • Therefore, the solution is x = 9.
