A. Learn the correct symbols for the elements. (this is similar to reciting the alphabet... a, b, c..., as well as identifying the symoblos we use or each letter.)
B. Learn the names and formulas of seven(7) acids and ammonia. The acids and their formulas along with ammonia and its formula are:
C. Learn the meaning of several important prefixes and sufixes as they relate to the formula of polyatomic ions, caution charges, and anions.
D. Learn the name of the prefixes that are used to denote one(1) through ten(10) atoms in a formula.

1. Given 2. Find 3. Equation 4. Solution
Without any equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be an equation.
1) Solve the equation for the desired variable. 2) Write it in function notation. For example, if y = 2x + 3, it is already solved for "y"; just rewrite it as f(x) = 2x + 3.
The methods vary widely, depending on the type of equation. The general principle is to do the same manipulation on both sides of the equation, trying to isolate the variable (leave the variable alone on one side of the equation). For example, if you have x + 3 = 7 your objective is to have the "x" alone on one side, so you subtract 3 on each side. This results in: x + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3 x + 0 = 4 x = 4 (You don't usually need to write down all these steps; they were included for clarity.)
