ALGEBRA - Solving Equations Recognize the needed step.

Recognize the needed step for solving these equations. There can be more than one way to solve some of these but I have used the normal methods used at most schools. Please read the directions carefully for each. Start over any time or play more than once.

The point is to learn to begin solving equations with ALGEBRA techniques.


Here are examples of how to type your answers.

For 3x-5=9 type: add 5
For two steps on 3x - 5 = 9 + x type: subtract x and add 5
For 3(x - 5) =9 type: multiply by 3 on left side
For two steps on x/2 - 5 =9 type: add 5 and multiply by 2
Simplify both sides of 3(x-1)=2(x+3) type: multiply by 3 on left side and multiply by 2 on right side
