Learning Objective

I can solve one-variable linear equations using inverse operations. 我可以使用逆运算解一元一次方程。

  • 1

    To solve an equation, you must rearrange it so the unknown value is by itself on one side of the equal sign.

  • 2

    An equation is like a balance scale, so any operation performed on one side must also be performed on the other side to keep the equation balanced.

  • 3

    To isolate an unknown value, use the inverse operation; for example, use subtraction to undo addition.
