Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
To solve an equation, rearrange it so the unknown value is by itself on one side of the equal sign.
- •
Use inverse operations like addition or subtraction to isolate the variable, but remember to do the same operation to both sides of the equation to keep it balanced.
- •
To solve for x in the equation x - 5 = 16, you must add 5 to both sides, resulting in x = 21.
