Solving Equations

A “Balanced” Approach

Balance Basics
 To keep the scale
“balanced” the same
amount of weight must
be placed on both the
left and right pan.
 So if you add or remove
items from one pan you
must remove the same
amount from the other
pan to maintain
balance.
Solving Equations
 The same method
is used to solve
equations:
 Whatever is added,
subtracted,
multiplied or divided
to one side the
same must be done
to the other side to
keep the equation
equal or “balanced”.
For Example
 Since both sides
have the same
value they are
equal.
 What happens if I
take away 3 from
the left pan? 10 = 10
Let’s Think About It
 Are the left and
right side values
the same?
 What could we do
to make the right
side the same as
the left? 10 - = 10

It Looks Like This
 Correct: take 3
away from the
right side.
 What could we do
to make the right
side the same as
the left? 10 - = 10 -
3 3
Solving Equations
 What is the value of
the right side pan?
 If the scale is
balanced then what
must the total value
of the left side pan
be?
X+3 7
7 is
correct!
Solving Equations
 So if a number plus
three is equal to 7
what is the missing
number?

X+3 7
Solving Equations
 So if a number plus
three is equal to 7
what is the missing
number?
 The missing
number is 4 – Very
Good 4+3 7
Solving Equations
 Write the missing
__ + 3 7
number that will
keep both the left
and right side __ - 4 10
equal.

Solving One-Step equations
A. Which side of the equation has the variable?
B. What is being done to the variable (+,-,×, ÷).
C. Do the opposite operation using the same number.
D. What you do to one side you must do to the other.

Solving Two-Step equations
A. What is your variable
B. What is the furthest number from the variable on
the same side.
C. How is the number attached?
D. Do the opposite.
E. What you do to one side you must do to the other.
F. Follow these steps until the variable is alone.
