Concept and method

An equation states equality of two expressions. Apply the same operation to both sides; divide only by nonzero numbers. Check a proposed solution in the original equation.

Check and common pitfall

Add four to both sides, then divide both sides by three.

Key Formulas, Identities & Theorems

Key relationships

ax + b = c ⇒ x = (c − b)/a, a ≠ 0

Observe the stated conditions and units.

Conceptual Solved Examples & Case Studies

Example 1
