A - 2 1/2 = 1 1/2

Solve for A by adding 2 1/2 to both sides:

A = 1 1/2 + 2 1/2

A = 4

The answer is c. A = 4

Check: 4 - 2 1/2 = 1 1/2

What is the ultimate goal when solving equations? What do you want your final answer to look like?

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{To get x on one side of the equation:} \ \ x = ...}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When we solve for an equation, our goal is to find the value of the variable. Any variable can be used, but for the time being let’s assume we use $x$ .

We can algebraeically solve equations until we get the value of x - in which we will have x equal to something.

Say we have the equation $5x+5=20$ . Our goal is to find the value of $x$ . <u>We can do this by getting x isolated on one side so we have something equal to x</u>.
