Today we learned about One Step Algebra Equation. Here is a picture on how to solve and verify an algebra equation.
First, you have to do is put the variable(n) first then the 2 constants (+3 and -6)beside it.
Next, answer the 2 constant (in this question the 2 constants are +3 and -6 and you should get -3 as your answer.)
After, rewrite the question variable first and constant after, this will make a one step algebra equation.
Once you have the one step algebra equation, isolate the variable by canceling out zero pair( the zero pair in this question is -3 and 3 make sure to do the same method on the other side to make it balance). Isolating means using an opposite operation to make the variable by itself.
And now your answer should be n=15.
Don't forget to VERIFY your answer!
To verify your answer make a statement saying let n=15.
Next rewrite the question.
Rewrite the question again but this time replace the n with your answer which is 15.
Answer the first 2 constant (3+15).
Now replace 3+15-6 with 18-6.
Answer it and you should get 12=12 as your answer.
There are 4 points on how to solve an equation. Here are 4 of them:
Isolate the variable.
Cancel by putting an opposite operation.
What you put on one side, put it on the other side, Make sure to keep the equation balance.
VERIFY your answer by CHECKING it.
This video will show you how to properly do a one step algebra equation.
