ABOUT THIS GAME
About this game
Solve linear equations in three stages.
Level 0: add or subtract the same number on both sides, or divide both sides by the same non-zero number.
Level 1: move terms across the equals sign and check their signs.
Level 2: collect variable terms on the left and constants on the right.
Build familiarity with the steps for solving a linear equation.
POINT
What to focus on
01
Begin with balanced operations
Start by applying the same operation to both sides of an equation.
02
