No. The goal is to find a value of the variable(s) for which the solution is true.
Getting the variable by itself is only a part of the process, not the goal.

To solve an equation, the goal is to get the variable by itself. In this case the variable is q. -6=8q-4 first you want to get 8q by itself because the 8 and the q are together right now. So add 4 to each side to cancel it out on the side that has a -4. -6+4=8q simplify. -2=8q then to get rid of the 8, you have to divide both sides by 8 and then you get q by itself. -2/8=q simplify again. -1/4=q q=-1/4 :)
The basic rules to solve equations are to isolate the variable on one side of the equation by performing the same operation on both sides. This includes adding or subtracting the same value, multiplying or dividing by the same value, and applying exponent or logarithm rules if necessary. The goal is to simplify the equation until the variable is alone on one side and the solution can be determined.
algebra involves equations with numbers a variables and your goal is to solve for the variable
The goal is to solve for a value of x such that the equation is true. The equation is:8x + 5 = 7x + 8First, subtract 5 from both sides, so that there is only a constant on the right side.8x = 7x + 3Next, subtract 7x from both sides, so that the variable, x, is only on the left side.x = 3The result is x = 3.
In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that can be altered or controlled to produce a change. The result being studied is the dependent variable, which is observed to change as the independent variable is changed.Example : In an experiment testing the effect of caffeine on reaction times, the amount of caffeine consumed is the independent variable and can be varied. The reaction times are the dependent variable, and a correlation (change in times) with the independent (amount given) is the information being sought.There are three kinds of variables. These are:Independent variable: is not affected by any effects in the experimentDependent variable: its reaction does depend on other variablesControlled variable: variable that you can control throughout the entire experimentTo put it simply, the independent variable tries to manipulate the dependent variable in an experiment.The independent variable (manipulated variable) is a variable that is changed by the experimenter. The dependent variable (responding variable) is what you are trying to determine in an experiment. My 6th grade science teacher taught us a poemThe manipulated is what you control the responding variable is your ultimate goal.
