Solving Equations


	A First Lesson in Algebra: Solving Equations! One of the first lessons taught in Algebra is Solving Equations. This is the basis of Algebra and many other lessons taught in Algebra will rely on knowledge of this skill. So, what is an equation? An equation is a mathematical statement that shows that two quantities are equal. For example, 6 + 3 = 9. This is an equation that shows that the expression 6+3 is equal to the quantity 9. However, in Algebra, one of the terms is typically unknown and a variable (letter) is used in it's place. For example, x + 3 = 9 is an Algebra equation. We must solve this equation to determine the value of x. I am going to teach you how to solve many types of equations. We will start with the basic algebra equation, which only involves one step to solve. From there we'll move onto two-step equations. I'll even teach you how to solve equations that contain fractions. They look scary, but they are really not too bad. Then we'll move on to equations with variables on both sides and writing equations based on word problems. We'll cover it all - so get your thinking cap on and get ready to solve equations. Click on the specific lesson that you may need help with, or follow along in order to complete the entire unit. Good luck! Overview of the Equations Unit In this set of lessons, here's what you will find! Balancing Equations Solving one-step equations (Addition). Solving one-step equations (Subtraction).

Your methodology is by far the simplest to follow, primarily because you take the time to include the small steps in between that most other teachers leave out. It helps to know why you are doing something. I am 45 and heading to college to get my BS in Business. I need to brush up, hence the visit to your site. Great Job!" Jimmy - United States "I stumbled onto your site after I found out that I needed to use some fundamental algebra for an assignment. Turns out I had forgotten some things and your great site helped me remember them like "that" (snap of fingers). The organization of the site let me find exactly what I was looking for so easily. Kudos to you for maintaining such a great resource for students of all ages!" Tom - United States "I just wanted to write and basically thank you for making such a wonderful website! I'm 20 years old and about to take a basic placement test for college. I wanted to brush up on my Algebra skills and I stumbled upon your site. I'm amazed at how simple you make it and how fast I'm remembering Algebra! I don't remember getting most of the answers right when I had an actual teacher in front of me teaching this. Thanks a lot!" Elizabeth - United States "I am a pensioner living in South Africa. I stumbled on your website, the best thing that could ever happen to me! Your course in Algebra has helped me a lot to better understand the different concepts. Thank you very much for sharing your skills for teaching math to even people like me. Please do not stop, as I am sure that your teachings have helped thousands of people like me all over the world." Noel - South Africa This is an amazing program. In one weekend I used it to teach my Grade 9 daughter most of the introductory topics in Linear Relations. I took her up to Rate of Change and now she can do her homework by herself.
