In this lesson, you will manipulate equations and solve for a variable. You will also begin to determine which forms of equations are more useful than others.
When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:
- Solve for a particular variable, given an equation.
- Determine the more useful form of an equation.
- Explain the phrase “to solve for a variable.”
Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:
