Solving Equations

                    Lesson 1

                                 

                                                            Problem:                   Solve for variable x

                                                            x+6 = 16

                                                            Solution                    Analyze the equation carefully                                               

Step 1:  

                     

                                                            Solution                    Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right and solving we have:

Step 2:                       

                                                                                                            x = 16 - 6 = 10

Solution                    The answer is: x = 10 

 Step 3:     

Complete                                                                                                                    

 

                                                             Try two practice problems:  

 

Solve for variable x

 

A.  4 + x = 24

 

B. x + 6 = 14 + 3x
