The first step in transforming an equation is to identify the variables present. These are typically represented by letters, such as x, y, or z. Look for letters that are not constants or coefficients.
The goal of transforming an equation is to isolate the variable you are solving for on one side of the equation. This will allow you to solve for the variable and find its numerical value.
The operation you use when transforming an equation depends on the operation currently being applied to the variable. For example, if the variable is being multiplied by a number, you will use division to cancel out the multiplication and isolate the variable.
Yes, you can use the same operation on both sides of the equation as long as it is done in a balanced manner. For example, if you add 3 to one side of the equation, you must also add 3 to the other side.
If you have a variable on both sides of the equation, you can combine like terms to simplify the equation. Then, choose an operation that will eliminate one of the variables and continue transforming the equation until you have isolated the variable you are solving for.
