Vocabulary
 Equivalent: has the same value, “is equal”
 Inverse Operations: operations that undo

each other.
 Linear Equation: An equation where the

variable (or variables) are raised to the first

power, do not occur in the denominator,
inside a square root, or inside absolute value
symbols.
 Example: 3x-2=27 is a linear equation
Linear or Not?
Are the following Linear Equations? Why?
x + 5 = 9 yes
x2 + 5 = 9 no
-4 + n = 2n - 6 yes
|x + 3| = 7 no
 ( ) distribute
 • Can you combine like terms on the LHS? ____ (do it!)

 • Can you combine like terms on the RHS? ____ (do it!)
 • If variables are on both sides, then make one go

away.
 • What side of the new equation is the variable on?

____
 • Is there a number being added or subtracted to

THAT side? ___ (get rid of it! Do the opposite.)

 • Is there a number “next to” the variable? _____ (get

rid of it! DIVIDE.)
