Slide 4 - Steps to Solve (Click to Reveal)

This slide lists four steps to solve an equation under the title "Steps to Solve (Click to Reveal)." The steps are: group variables on one side by adding/subtracting terms, move constants to the other side, multiply/divide both sides by the coefficient, and check the solution by substitution.

Steps to Solve (Click to Reveal)

  • Add/subtract terms to group variables on one side.
  • Add/subtract constants to the other side.
  • Multiply/divide both sides by the coefficient.
  • Check solution by substitution.

Slide 6 - Example 1: 2x + 3 = 5x - 2

This slide shows the step-by-step solution to 2x + 3 = 5x - 2: subtract 2x to get 3 = 3x - 2, add 2 to get 5 = 3x, and divide by 3 for x = 5/3. It verifies the solution by substituting x = 5/3, confirming both sides equal 19/3.

Example 1: 2x + 3 = 5x - 2

Solving StepsSolution & Verification

| Original: 2x + 3 = 5x - 2

Step 1: Subtract 2x → 3 = 3x - 2

Step 2: Add 2 → 5 = 3x

Step 3: Divide by 3 → x = 5/3 | x = 5/3

Check: Left: 2(5/3) + 3 = 10/3 + 9/3 = 19/3 Right: 5(5/3) - 2 = 25/3 - 6/3 = 19/3 ✅ Equal! |
