3. Solve

3. Quick Review 1. What is the goal in solving an equation?
To isolate the variable.
2. What do you need to find, to “get rid of” the term?
The inverse.
3. When do you use the Additive Inverse?
When it’s adding or subtracting.
4. When do you use the Multiplicative Inverse?
When it’s multiplying or dividing.

4. Solving 2-steppers Let’s “move in” on “x”!
Our goal is to get “x” (the variable) by itself
= 2y – 3
10 = 2y
5 = y
Let’s “move in” on “x”!
