What is an algebraic equation?

An algebraic equation is a mathematical statement that establishes an equality between two algebraic expressions, typically containing one or more variables. These equations are used to solve problems and find unknown values by manipulating the expressions through operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

How do you solve a one-step equation?

To solve a one-step equation, isolate the variable by performing the opposite operation on both sides of the equation. For example, if the equation is 3x = 15, to isolate x you would divide both sides by 3, which gives x = 5. Remember, the goal is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation.

How do you solve a two-step equation?

To solve a two-step equation, first, isolate the variable term by undoing the operations in the reverse order they were performed. Start by undoing addition/subtraction by performing the inverse operation on both sides of the equation, then undo multiplication/division by performing the inverse operation. Ensure to perform the same operation to both sides to maintain the equation's balance, until the variable is isolated to find its value. Remember to simplify the equation as much as possible along the way.

How do you isolate the variable in a multi-step equation?

To isolate the variable in a multi-step equation, begin by simplifying both sides of the equation by combining like terms. Next, perform any necessary operations to move constant terms to the opposite side of the equation. Then, use inverse operations to isolate the variable by getting it on one side of the equation. Repeat the steps until the variable is on one side of the equation and all other terms are on the other side. This will provide the solution for the variable in the multi-step equation.

What are the basic properties of equality used in solving equations?

The basic properties of equality used in solving equations are the reflexive property, symmetric property, transitive property, additive property, multiplicative property, and the substitution property. The reflexive property states that any quantity is equal to itself, the symmetric property shows that if a = b, then b = a, the transitive property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c. The additive property allows adding or subtracting the same quantity to both sides of an equation, the multiplicative property allows multiplying or dividing both sides by the same quantity, and the substitution property allows replacing a quantity in an equation with an equal value.

How do you solve equations with fractions or decimals?

To solve equations with fractions or decimals, first eliminate any fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by the least common denominator. For equations with decimals, convert the decimals into fractions by moving the decimal point to the right until the numbers are whole numbers and then simplify if necessary. After converting all fractions or decimals, proceed to solve the equation using standard algebraic methods such as isolating the variable by combining like terms and applying the inverse operation. Remember to perform the same operation on both sides of the equation to maintain equality.

How do you solve equations involving quadratic expressions?

To solve equations involving quadratic expressions, set the equation to zero and try to factor the quadratic expression into two binomial factors, then set each factor to zero and solve for the variable. If factoring is not possible, use the quadratic formula, x = (-b ± ?(b²-4ac)) / 2a, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic expression in the form ax² + bx + c. Substituting these values into the formula will give you the solutions for the quadratic equation.

How do you solve literal equations?

To solve literal equations, isolate the variable you are trying to solve for by following the order of operations: simplify both sides of the equation, collect like terms, and then perform inverse operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation. Remember to apply the same operation to both sides of the equation to maintain its equality. Once you have the variable isolated, you can then calculate its value using the given information in the equation.

How do you solve equations with absolute value?

To solve equations with absolute value, you first isolate the absolute value expression on one side of the equation. Then, split the equation into two separate equations: one with the positive value inside the absolute value bars and one with the negative value inside them. Solve both equations separately to find all possible solutions. Keep in mind that the final solution may include more than one value, so be sure to check all solutions back into the original equation to verify their accuracy.

How do you check if a given solution is correct for an equation?

To check if a given solution is correct for an equation, simply substitute the solution into the equation and evaluate both sides. If the solution satisfies the equation, then both sides will be equal, confirming that the solution is correct.
