Let's use the equation 5x - 20 = 10 as an example for this.
To work backwards from this, you would add the same amount to each side.
You want to isolate the variable (5x) so that you can solve for x.
To do that, you would add 20.
But again, you must add and subtract the same amount to both sides.
So it would look a bit like this:
5x - 20 + 20 = 10 + 20
That would simplify to 5x = 30, or in other words, x = 6.
Basically, you isolate the multiple of the variable then divide the answer to the equation from that multiple.
In the example, 5 is the multiple and after isolating it, the answer was 30.
30 -:- (divided) 5 = 6.
x = 6.
Hope this helps :)

The difference is that first you have to understand the problem and translate it into an equation (or equations).
An equation is a ploblem with no answer and an expression is a problem with an answer so you'll get different answers with an equation and an expression.
You divide left and right by "a", to keep the "x" alone.
Converting the problem to an expression, equation, or in equality is an important step in solving the problem.5x+785>1,500

Chess is a game of strategy and planning ahead. It helps to develop skills that help with problem solving in everyday life by training the mind to examine all possible moves and their outcomes, and to solve problems when a move that you have not considered causes you to rethink your strategy.
