Solving Multistep Equations
Solving an equation means to find the value of the variable that makes the equation TRUE. This value is called the SOLUTION. To solve an equation, we use the concept of OPPOSITE OPERATIONS to get the variable by itself on one side of the equal

sign. And what we do to ONE side of the equation, we must also do to the other side to keep the equation BALANCED.

Finally… It is a good idea to CHECK the solution to make sure the result is a TRUE statement. Five Term/Phrases related to Solving Equations

1.	Combining like terms which means adding or subtracting numbers that are multiplied by the same variable raised to the same power in order to simplify the equation.

For example if you had the equation 3x^2+5xy+4x^2+6xy+8+3y+3+2y=0 You can combine 3x^2+4x^2 to get 7x^2 And you can combine 5xy +6xy to get 11xy Combine 3y + 2y to get 5y Combine 8+3 to get 11 You r final expression will be 7x^2+11xy+5y+11=0

2.	Addition Property of Equality which means that if you add the same number to both sides of an equation the sides remain equal.

Examples 25-10=15 25-10+10=15+10 25=25

Therefore: y-10=15 y-10+10=15+10 Y=25

3.	Subtraction Property of Equality which means both sides of an equation have the same number subtracted from them, the remaining expression are equal. Examples 2+4=6 2+4-4=6-4 2=2 Therefore: y+4=6 Y+4-4=6-4 Y=2

4.	Multiplication Property of Equality which means when both sides are multiplied by the same number the remaining expressions are equal.

Examples 20/5=4 5*20/5=4*5 20=20 Therefore: z/5=4 5*z/5=4*5 Z=20

5.	Division Property of Equality which means when you divide the same number on both sides of the equation the expressions remains equal.

Examples 5*3=15 5*3/3=15/3				3=3						Therefore: 5m=15 5m/5=15/5 M=3

Students, Please solve the following problems. You may email your classmates as alternative resources before submitting your work. Please take your time and do your best. Good Luck. 1.  4m+2=18

2.  X+4=5x+2

3.  3t-5= 4

4   4w-20=4

5.  3x/5=3

6.  -2x/3=4

7.  10x=110

8.  -7x+3=17

My experience on Wikipedia
Personally I enjoyed my experience on Wikipedia, because it really taught me how you can share your knowledge with the world. Because some people need to know this information. It was tough at first but soon I got the hang of it. I like writing so you could definitely say I enjoyed it. It took a lot of effort and time but I kept on going, because that’s what I do strive to the end. Hard work is important but you still should make the best of it. Some people don’t get it you have to work for what you want, and I want to pass all of my assignments. I would definitely recommend Wikipedia to writers that want to get their word out. So I would use Wikipedia again not only for work assignments, but also for school assignments and class projects. I would write 2-3 pages and post it so my students can look at, read it and use the information for projects. I would say that Wikipedia is and would be a good experience for not only teachers, students, writers, parents and their children. Wikipedia builds confidence for the shy, young writers to share their stories and investigations and discoveries with the world. Even though I have yet to know anybody in that situation I know somebody in the world has that problem. Wiki provides students with examples of problems that can be solved by the students. You see students with different learning styles need different ways to learn and wiki provides that. Wiki is a way for students to get the information they need at home the easy way. Thank You!

You have to work for what you want, and I want to learn everything possible from this class to incorporate in my every day life.

Wikipedia is a way for everyone to come together and share their knowledge with the world. I look forward to applying thus far to direct student learning through technology.
