What are the two methods we’ve learned for solving equations? 1.Add the opposite: EX: -7 = m Multiply by the reciprocal EX: x = -16OR 30 = -5p
How do we solve equations that require 2 steps??? Example: x + 3 = 11 We must get variable ALONE!! STEPS: #1. Add Opposite #2. Multiply by Reciprocal x =
Examples: 1. -4x + 3 = = -8 – 6y
3. -2 = -8m
