Solving Equations!
Wait, there can be more than one solution?
There are equations with one step, two steps, and multi-steps. Multi-step equations include distribution, combining like terms, and variables on both sides of the equation.
How many solutions are there?

Solving Equations
Solving Equations: Click on the pointers to learn more about each step. Step 1: Distribute Step 2: Combine Like Terms Step3: Use inverse operations to move all variables to one side Step 4: Use inverse operations to move all constants to one side Step 5: Use inverse operations to get the variable by itself.

Distribution!
Distribution is when you multiply the number outside of the parenthesis by everything inside the parenthesis. Distribute the 6 to each term on the inside: Multiply the x and 2 by 6. Simplify each term to write the final answer without parentheses.

Combine Like Terms!
Like Terms are terms whose variables (such as x or y) with their exponents are the same. Like terms can be added or subtracted together (Combined) Look at the sign in front of the term to determine if you need to add or subtract.

Variables on Both Sides of the Equation
When you have variables on both sides of the equation, start with identifying the smaller letter term. If the term is being added or if it is positive, then subtract the term from both sides. If the term is being subtracted or if it is negative, then add the term to both sides

Moving the Constant
A constant is a number without a variable. When solving equations the goal is to get the variable by itself. You can use inverse operations (additon and subtraction) to move the constant to the opposite side of the equation from the variable.

Getting the variable by itself
A coefficient is a number with a variable. When solving equations the goal is to get the variable by itself. To get the variable by itself you need to get rid of the coefficient using inverse operations (multiplication or division)

Equations in the real world??
Do you enjoy watching the action and movement in your favorite computer game? In order to make that action look so real, mathematicians and software developers use equations and coding to make the characters move. The software for computer games has more equations in it than you could possibly imagine!
