Equation

Equation- mathematical statement with two expression that have the same value

Eg.





Model: 8 times a number plus 4 is 12 8n+4=12



5y-6=19



numerical coefficient =5




variable =5




constant =6




C+(-3)=(-6) Brackets in this equation is use to reduce confusion.




Opposite Operations





A+1=3


A+1-1=3-1


A=2




Sub A+1=3


2+1=3


3=3



reverse order of operation



4c-4=17


4c-3+3=17+3


4c=20


4c÷4=20÷4


c=5



sub 4c-3=17


4(5)-3=17


20-3=17


17=17





Here is a video of solving algebra equations.

Hi Cindy. Great scribe post! The video was helpful and so was the link. The font is nice and colorful but it should be a bit larger. I like how you mentioned that the brackets are to reduce confusion! The images matched your definition or what you were trying to explain. Good Job! Here is another game/link on solving algebra equations that may also help. ; http://www.xpmath.com/forums/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=64

Hi Cindy. Good scribe post. The fonts had really nice colors, but some were small and one color was really bright and hurts your eyes. I liked how you explained that the brackets are used to reduced confusion. And also the pictures you put but the definition explained what it ment well.

Hi Cindy! Wow, good job in your post. You explained Equations very well. The definition was very true, and I like that you showed an example to help use more. The pictures were also great and I like how you change the font color, very attractive. The link and the game is very helpful. To make your scribe post even better, I suggest you change the font size, to show what topic you are taking about, other than that it's great. Here's another link and video to help us more:
