How to write an equation

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is like a sentence, just using a different language. Mathematical equations are telling you to do something, giving you information on how to respond, or come up with an answer. It's up to you to learn this language. However, once you know it, you can write in this language! You, too, can write algebraic equations.

Parts of a Mathematical Equation

A mathematical equation, also known as a statement, shows that two separate expressions are equal. The two expressions are usually connected by the "equal-to" (=) sign. You can find the expressions in a mathematical statement by looking at the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation, using the = sign as the point of reference.

Example: 2x + 3 = 11

It can be helpful to view equations as a scale in which weights are used to keep it balanced. The scale is balanced when what is placed on the right-hand side is equal in weight to what is on the left-hand side. Solving an equation can also be thought of in terms of adding weight to the left or right-hand side of the scale to balance it out.

Finding the solution to the equation involves manipulating the weights. Whatever is done on the right-hand side of the scale must also be done on the left-hand side to keep the scale balanced.

Your tools for this happen to be, most commonly, addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

An equation uses symbols and numbers there are SO many equations you could make for example an easy one 6 x 5 = 30 there are two numbers you multiply to get a product.
