Step-by-step algebra tutorials for middle school students

Solving Linear Equations

To solve for x, isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Example: 3x + 5 = 20
3x = 15
x = 5

Distributive Property

Multiply the term outside parentheses by each term inside.

Example: 4(x + 3) = 4x + 12

Solving Inequalities

Remember to flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.

Example: -2x > 6
x < -3

Factoring Quadratics

Find two numbers that multiply to c and add to b.

Example: x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3)
