Bothand
A coefficient is a number or symbol that is being multiplied by an unknown. In this case,is our unknown and it's being multiplied by, thusis our coefficient.
Example Question #222 :Expressions & Equations
Solve for:
The equationasks us to identify which number,, plusis equal to.
In order to solve this equation, we need to isolate thevariable on one side of the equals sign. We will do this by performing the opposite of the operations that were done on the variable,. We need to remember that whatever we do to one side of the equals sign, we have to do to the other.
Sincewas added to the variable, we can subtractfrom both sides of the equation.
Simplify by dropping thebecause it has not numerical value; therefore:
We can check to make sure we have the correct value forby plugginginto the original equation; thus:
