LEARN BY EXAMPLE

Math, broken into steps.

Follow the reasoning instead of memorizing a rule.

EXAMPLE 01 · ONE-STEP EQUATION

Solve: x + 7 = 12

We want to get x by itself. Undo the addition using subtraction.

  1. Start with x + 7 = 12.
  2. Subtract 7 from both sides.
  3. This gives x = 12 − 7.
  4. Our answer is x = 5.
x = 5

Check your answer: 5 + 7 = 12. Both sides match!

EXAMPLE 02 · TWO-STEP EQUATION

Solve: 3x − 4 = 11

Undo operations in reverse order: addition first, then multiplication.

  1. Start with 3x − 4 = 11.
  2. Add 4 to both sides: 3x = 15.
  3. Divide both sides by 3.
  4. Our answer is x = 5.
x = 5

Check: 3(5) − 4 = 15 − 4 = 11. Correct!

STUDY TIP

Keep both sides balanced.

Whatever operation you perform on one side of an equation, perform on the other side too.

EXPERIMENT & DISCOVER

Welcome to Graph Lab.

Adjust the numbers and watch the line change.

Explore y = mx + b

The slope (m) controls how steep the line is. The intercept (b) moves it up or down.

y = x

A positive slope rises from left to right.
