__**Solving Equations**__

__**1) Distribute like terms**__ __**2) Isolate terms with the variable, by adding or subtracting**__ __**3) Isolate X using divide or multiply**__ __**4) CHECK OVER WORK IF POSSIBLE**__

When you are solving equations you want to get X alone. You also want to distribute the number outside of the parenthesis if it apply's. After you have distributed, you want to add or subtract the like terms. Then you want to divide or multiply like terms. Finally, check your work, if you want to make sure the problem looks right.







CLASS PROBLEMS: 1) 23x + 0 = 0 X=0 2) 3x - 2 = 7 X = 3 3) -90x + 30 = 10 X = -2/9 4) 100X + .50 = 25 X = -.245
