How to solve a algebra equation

   Simplifying
                             x + -6= 9

                      Reorder the terms:
                            -6 + x = 9

                              Solving
                             -6 + x = 9

                      Solving for variable 'x'.
 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
 
              Add '6' to each side of the equation.
                          -6 + 6 + x = 9 + 6

                  Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
                         0 + x = 9 + 6
                           x = 9 + 6

                 Combine like terms: 9 + 6 = 15
                                x = 15

                             Simplifying
                                 x = 15
  


                  Answer would be: x - 6 = 9

Understanding improper and mixed fractions

WALT: understand improper and mixed fractions.

Pentagons maths group and I have been trying to understand improper and mixed fractions. We had to highlight the best answer. As part of Mrs Nua  and Mrs Ilaoa maths group, we k now that we have to read all answers if it is a option one. Why? because if you pick the first answer you see then it could be wrong, that's why it's has optional answers.

Algebra- How to solve an Algebra eqaution

This is how to solve an algebra equation.To solve linear equations, you add, subtract, multiply and divide both sides of the equation by numbers and variables, so that you end up with a single variable on one side and a single number on the other side.
