BASIC ALGEBRA REVIEW

There are four basic operations in simple algebra...but only one thing to remember.  Always do the same operation on both sides of the equal sign.  The following animated GIFs will lead you through these four operations and then other animated GIFs will allow you to see how these same four operations are used in combination to solve more complicated problems.

Problems...

X  +  2  =  3

X  -  2  =  3

2X  =  6

X/2  =  3

2X  -  5  =  3

2(4X  -  3)  =  10
