It very much depends on the equation. The procedure for solving an equation with just one variable is so very different from the procedure for finding solutions to non-linear equations in several variables.

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.

Can you solve for a variable in an expression?

No, you can only simplify an expression. To solve for a variable, it must be in an equation.


Can you solve for a variable in an expression or equation?

Can you solve a variable with an equation?

When an equation has a variable in it (only one), then there are only certainvalues the variable can have that will make the equation a true statement."Solving" the equation means finding those values for the variable.

If you were to solve the following system by substitution what would be the best variable to solve for and from what equation?

To determine the best variable to solve for in a system of equations by substitution, look for the equation that allows you to isolate a variable easily. Typically, choose the equation where one variable has a coefficient of 1 or -1, or is already expressed in terms of the other variable. This makes substitution straightforward and minimizes complexity in calculations. Once identified, you can solve for that variable and substitute it into the other equation.


What does SOLVE stand for in math?

How do you solve a 2 step equation with a fraction and variable?

To solve a two-step equation with a fraction and a variable, first isolate the term with the variable by eliminating any constant on the same side. You can do this by adding or subtracting the constant from both sides. Next, if the variable is multiplied by a fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of that fraction to solve for the variable. Finally, simplify to find the value of the variable.


How do you solve an equation with a variable that is a fraction?

You solve the equation the same way as you would any other equation. Whether the variable is a fraction or otherwise will only become clear once you solve the equation. In other words, you don't initially KNOW whether the solution will be a fraction or not.
