Learning Tips
Understanding Variables:
• Terms with 'x' are like variables - they're the unknown numbers we're trying to find
• When you see '2x', it means 2 times x
• A minus sign in front of x (-x) means negative 1 times x
Verification:
• Always check if your answer makes sense in the original equation
• Substitute your solution back to verify
