A linear equation in one variable is any equation that can be written in the form ax + b = 0, where a and b are real numbers and a is not zero.

added B300 to my bank account and my balance is B3,300. What did I start with? x + 300 = 3,300
paid B500 for 10 bags of cherries. How much did each bag cost? 10 x = 500

When you solve equations, you have both sides of the scale! You can change the weight, but the scale must balance!

Solving equations always requires them to be balanced. An unbalanced or messy sequence ends in the wrong answer. *A satisfying life always requires a balance. Otherwise, life will become miserable.

To
solve x + 3 = 7, you subtract 3 from both sides. solve x - 3 = 7, you add 3 from both sides.
