Symbol Guide
+ (Addition) − (Subtraction) × (Multiplication) / (Division) = (Equals) ^ (Exponent)

Tips & Strategies

To solve equations, perform the same operation on both sides to isolate the variable. For example:

2x + 5 = 11

Subtract 5 from both sides: 2x = 6

Divide both sides by 2: x = 3

Combine like terms (terms with the same variable part):

3x + 2y - x + 4 = (3x - x) + 2y + 4 = 2x + 2y + 4

Always plug your solution back into the original equation to verify:

If you get x = 3 for 2x + 5 = 11, check:

2(3) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11 ✓
