Equations
An equation is a mathematical statement that
shows 2 quantities are equal. An equation
contains an equal sign.
12 – 3 = 9 Numerical
3a = 30 Algebraic
To solve any equation use inverse operations.
Your goal is to get the variable all by itself.

SOLUTION
A solution is the final answer to an
equation, or the value of the variable.
Example: 3a = 30
a = 10
10 is the solution

#3
Subtract the same number from both sides.
m + 8 = 12 Get the variable alone.
– 8 –8 Subtract 8 from both sides.
m
=4
+8 and -8 cancel each other out.
4 + 8 = 12 Show your check.
12 = 12 Finish your check!

#4
Add the same number to both sides.
a – 15 = 22 Get the variable alone.
+15
+15 Add 15 to both sides.
a
= 37 +15 and -15 cancel out
37 - 15 = 22
Show your check!
22 = 22 Finish your check!

#5
Divide the same number into both sides
5x = 40
5
5
x = 8
5 • 8 = 40
40 = 40
Get the variable alone.
Divide 5 into both sides.
5 divided by 5 cancels out to 1.

#6
Multiply the same number to both sides
x = 20
Get the variable alone.
2
2• x = 20 •2 Multiply both sides by 2.

#7
Use inverse operations to solve integer equations.
a – -3 = 21
+ -3 + -3
a
= 18
18 - -3 = 21
21 = 21
Get the variable alone.
Add -3 to both sides.
+ -3 and – -3 cancel out
Check your answer
Finish your check

#8
Divide the same number into both sides
-8x = -64
Get the variable alone.
-8
Divide -8 into both sides.
x =
-8
8
-8 8 = -64
-64 = -64
-8 divided by -8 cancel out to 1.
Check your answer.
