Solving for a Variable

To solve for a variable in an equation, you must isolate the variable on one side of the equation. This can be achieved by performing the same operations on both sides of the equation.

Reciprocal Property

When a fraction is multiplied by its reciprocal, the product equals 1. This is a helpful property for solving equations where the variable is multiplied by a fraction.

Mixed Numbers & Improper Fractions

A mixed number combines a whole number and a fraction. To solve equations with mixed numbers, it's often easier to convert them into improper fractions.

Inverse Operations

To solve for a variable in an equation, you must perform the opposite operation of what's being done to the variable. For example, if the variable is being multiplied, you must divide to isolate it.
