Key Points
Solving one step equations.
Algebra An equation contains an
unknown number (a letter) and
1. 9x+3=2x+6 2. 3w+2=4+2w an = sign. To solve an
9x-2x=7x 3w-2w=w equation means to work out
2x-2x=0 2w-2w=0 the value of the unknown
A number.
7x+3=6 w+2=4
More complex equations.
7x=3 w=2 The coefficient of x is the
X=2.3 number that is multiplying x.
in the term 4x, the coefficient
of x is 4.
