This way of solving equations was quite interesting. Learning how to solve the equations by just simply balancing out the equation by putting the right numbers on the right side and adding and subtracting the problem made it a breeze. I would definitely recommend this program or "method" to anyone who has problems solving Linear Equations.

Time spent reviewing site: I spent about an hour on this program fiddling with all of the different equations. They all were solved and I didn't realize how easy this could be!
