Here’s a possible completion of the flowchart on how to solve equations:
How to Solve Equations
Step 1
Identify the operation that is done to the Answer
- Add/Subtract (or specific operation based on the equation)
- variable
- variable
- Inverse (operation: Add/Subtract → Inverse: Subtract/Add)
Step 2
Do the inverse operation on both sides of the equation.
Result:
The variable is isolated. The equation
- is solved.
This flowchart outlines the basic steps to solving linear equations by identifying and applying the inverse operations to isolate the variable.
