Written Description of Procedure

Mathematical Procedure
(Algorithm)

2x + 1 = 5

1. Three negative x’s and two units are
same as 5
2. Subtract two units from each side
of the equation
3. Divide both sides of the equation
into two equal groups
4. Flip both sides of the equation to
make them opposites
5. One x is equal to one negative unit
