Algebra with Legos - Lesson 5

Lesson 5
Addition and Subtraction with Mixed Equations


Next is using both addition and subtraction:

3x + 2y2 - 2x = x + 2y2
+ - (remove 2 red bars) = +
4z3 + 3z2 - 2z3 + z2 = 2z3 + 4z2
+ - (remove 2 long bars) + = +
3y3 + 2z - 3y3 - z = z
+ - (remove 3 blue bars) - (remove 1 yellow bar) =
x3 + 3y2 + 3z3 + 4x - y2 + 3z = 4x + x3 + 2y2 + 3z + 3z3
+ + + - (remove a blue bar) + = + + + +
