SAT Algebra Linear Equations: Step-by-Step Guide to Solving Linear Equations on the Digital SAT (Part 2)
SAT Algebra Linear Equations: Step-by-Step Guide to Solving Linear Equations on the Digital SAT (Part 2) Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides, Fractions, Decimals, Ratios, and Proportions In Part 1, you learned how to solve one-step and two-step linear equations by isolating the variable one operation at a time. Those skills form the foundation of almost every algebra problem on the Digital SAT. In this chapter, you'll solve equations that look more complicated because variables appear on both sides of the equation. You'll also learn how to work confidently with fractions, decimals, ratios, and proportions—topics that frequently appear in SAT Math questions. Although these problems may seem challenging at first, they all follow the same golden rule of algebra: Perform the same operation on both sides of the equation while keeping the equation balanced. Once you understand that principle, every new type of equation becomes much easier to solve. Solving Equations wi...
