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

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 .

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 . Our goal is to find the value of . We can do this by getting x isolated on one side so we have something equal to x.

We can subtract 5 from both sides and divide both sides by 5.

We now know the value of since it’s on one side of the equation.

Hope this helped!

step-by-step explanation:

once you graph it hit 2nd (the blue button) and graph

that takes you to a table of coordinates

on the left is x coordinates and on the right is y coordinates and an empty box

(you may have to scroll up/down in order to get ( x, 0)
