Equations with Variables on Both Sides - Scavenger Hunt Questions

Vocabulary and practice flashcards covering linear equations with variables on both sides from the scavenger hunt activity.

Equation with Variables on Both Sides

An algebraic equation that contains variable terms on both the left and right sides of the equal sign, requiring variable terms to be combined on one side to solve.

Solution to $17 + 8x = 3x + 62$

The value $x = 9$, found by subtracting $3x$ from both sides ($17 + 5x = 62$), subtracting $17$ from both sides ($5x = 45$), and dividing by $5$.
