Rememberthat"solvingalinearequation"meansdeterminingwhich valueofvariable(usually"x")makesamathstatementtrue Let'stalkabouttheprocedurefirst,thendoexamples.

ProceduretosolveaLinearEquationinOneVariable

Rememberthatthegoalistoisolatethevariableonone sidewiththenumbersontheotherside(Ex."x=2",or +1x=2) Itdoesn'tmatterwhichsidethevariablegoeson.Ifit makesthingseasierforyou,justpickasidewherethe variablewillalwaysgo.

Wesawtheadditionandsubtractionmethodsearlier.Now wejusthavetoremembertoaddandsubtractawayfromthe variablefirst.Ahinttorememberisthatthosethingsthatare addedtothevariablearefartherawayfromthevariable.It's likecleaningyourclosetgetridofthingsthatyouareless attachedto.

Example: 3x+5=0 Movethe5totheothersidebecauseitislessattachedto thevariable.
