In general, if you apply the same operation to both sides of an equation, you get an equivalent equation - at least if you do simple things like adding, subtracting, multiplying by a non-zero number, and dividing by some number.

How does writing equivalent equations help you solve a system of equations?

You can write an equivalent equation from a selected equation in the system of equations to isolate a variable. You can then take that variable and substitute it into the other equations. Then you will have a system of equations with one less equation and one less variable and it will be simpler to solve.


Can you solve for a variable in an equation?

Sure. You can always 'solve for' a variable, and if it happens to be the only variable in the equation, than that's how you solve the equation.

How do you solve -x equals 1?

in order to solve an equation for x, you must make sure that x is alone, in this case it is not, there is a (-) before it, remember, you have to do the same operation on each side of the equation to make it equivalent to the first equation. if -x=1 x=(-)1 x=-1
