REMEMBER - When multiplication and division occur together, work from left to right.  This means you MAY divide BEFORE you multiply.  The same goes for addition and subtraction!

Solving Algebraic Expressions

 

 

In order to solve for a variable, it must be by itself on one side of the equation.  That means that you will have to move any numbers and operations that are on the same side of the equation as the variable to the other side. BUT you CAN'T just move them from one side to the other.  For a number to change sides, you must perform the inverse, or opposite, operation on BOTH sides of the equation.
