Flashcard 10 - Math Flashcard Set for the CBEST
Back
Combine like terms, isolate the variable, solve for the variable.
Explanation:
To illustrate the procedure for solving single-variable equations, let’s take an example: \(3x + 2 = 5\)
Combine like terms:
3x + 2 - 2 = 5 - 2
3x = 3
Isolate the variable:
\(\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{3}{3}\)
Solve for the variable:
x = 1
