One-Step Addition Equations - YourTeacher.com - Math Help

For a complete lesson on one-step addition equations, go to http://www.yourteacher.com - 1000+ online math lessons featuring a personal math teacher inside every lesson! In this lesson, students learn that solving an equation for x means isolating the x on one side of the equation. To isolate the x, the following techniques are used. If a number is being added to x, subtract the number from both sides of the equation. If a number is being subtracted from x, add the number to both sides of the equation. If a number is being multiplied by x, divide both sides of the equation by the number. If a number is being divided by x, multiply both sides of the equation by the number.

how dah hell do i do -4+y=-9

[789Moonsinner]

Anyone Have a video for solving equations like this?

4 y = 8 x + 12 Solve for y.

Plz im kinda confused (in 8th grade)

[skacorepa]

how do u do y-(-61)=20.5

[hdhdththdndr]

Easy.

X+2=6

X=6-2

X=4 .

haha stupid american system of teaching. Europe's way of teaching math is much more fun and rigorous.

That's weird.

The American system suggests to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

The Russian one suggests to take 2 into the other side of the equation, changing plus to minus and vice versa.

In other words, Americans would turn this into

x+2-2=6-2,

while Russians would simply write

x=6-2, as 2 transforms into -2.
