Solving for X
"Solving for X" refers to the process of finding the value of the variable X in an equation. This is a fundamental concept in algebra, where equations often contain unknowns represented by letters. The goal is to isolate X on one side of the equation, allowing us to determine its value based on the other numbers and variables present.
To solve for X, various techniques can be employed, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. For example, in the equation 2X + 3 = 11, you would first subtract 3 from both sides, resulting in 2X = 8, and then divide by 2 to find X = 4.
