The first step is to get the variable on the left side of the equal sign. So start by removing the variable located on the right side of the equal sign.If you add, subtract, multiply, or divide on one side of the equal sign, you must do the same on the other side of the equal sign.Be careful with negative signs.Check your answers by substituting them back into the original equation.

This variable will be used to describe all the other numbers in the problem. Often it is good to have the variable represent the smallest number in the problem.Third, translate the problem into an equation.Fourth, solve the equation and use the solution to answer the question that was asked in the problem. Sometimes the answer will be the value of the variable. Sometimes it will be necessary to use the value of the variable to find what was asked for in the problem.Fifth, check your answer.
