Solving Equations
More complex equations: unknowns on one side

Solving Equations

• The language of equations
• The four basic inverse operations
• Solving basic equations
• Unknowns on both sides
• More complex equations (unknowns on one side)

To solve equations with the same unknown variable on both sides:
Step 1: If necessary, expand any brackets and collect like terms.
Step 2: Use inverse operations to solve for the unknown.
