Ever wanted to be a detective?
That’s exactly what you’re doing when you solve an algebra problem. You’re looking for clues, putting the pieces together, and cracking the case—also known as finding x.
What Is Algebra, Anyway?
Algebra is a way of solving problems where a number is missing—but we use a letter to stand in for that number.
Example:
2x + 3 = 11
Your mission: Find out what x is.
Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides → 2x = 8
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2 → x = 4
🎉 Case closed!
Why It’s Awesome
Algebra helps you:
- Think logically
- Solve real-world problems (like budgets or measurements)
- Create patterns and even art!
💡 Maths2Art Tip: Turn equations into puzzles. Write your own “mystery” for a friend to solve!
