Recap for Solving Equations Remember, the goal of solving equations is to get x by itself! Type of Equation Example How to get x by itself Subtract the added number from both sides Add the subtracted number to both sides Divide by the coefficient on both sides Multiply both sides by the denominator of the coefficient Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient Example 25 + x = 9 -25 -25 x = -16 x 110 = 48 + 110 +110 x = 158 3x = 60 3 3 x = 20

Addition

25 + x = 9

Subtraction

x 110 = 48

Multiplication

3x = 60

Division

x = 30

Rational Coefficient

x=

Solving Equations with Multiple Transformations When solving equations with multiple transformations, the goal is to get x alone. You do this by removing constants and coefficients in REVERSE PEMDAS (Order of Operations). Example Problem 1 For each step in solving, THINK what is the next step in REVERSE PEMDAS or SADMEP.
