●A variable is a letter which represents an unknown number. Any letter can be used as a variable.
●An algebraic expression contains at least one variable. Examples: a, x+5, 3y – 2z
●A verbal expression uses words to translate algebraic expressions. Example: “The sum of a number and 3”
represents “n+3.”

●An equation is a sentence that states that two mathematical expressions are equal.
●Example: 2x-16=18

STEPS TO SOLVING EQUATIONS
●Simplify each side of the equation, if needed, by distributing or combining like terms.
●Move variables to one side of the equation by using the opposite/inverse operation of addition or subtraction.
●Isolate the variable by applying the opposite operation to each side.• First, use the opposite operation of
addition or subtraction. • Second, use the opposite operation of
multiplication or division.●Check your answer.

INVERSE OPERATION
The operation that reverses the effect of another operation.
Example: Addition and subtraction are inverse operations
Another Example: Multiplication and division are inverse operations.
