Like terms have exactly the same variables.

Constants are also like terms.

You’ve already learned how to simplify expressions by combining like terms.

Now, you want to simplify the sides of an equations so that you can solve it.

Use these steps for solving equations:

  1. Simplify each side of the equation.

  • Isolate the variable on one side of the equation using inverse operations

    • Addition and subtraction first

    • Multiplication and division last.

Students often assume that if an answer is a whole number, then it must be right.

They also assume that if the answer is a fraction or a decimal, it must be wrong.

These are false assumptions. Many correct answers in real life are fractions or decimals.

Workbook page 66

The only way to be sure your answer is correct is to substitute your solution into the equation.

Good test takers think about whether their answers make sense, and they check their work if they have enough time.
