Linear equations on the GMAT are a test of logic as much as algebra. Success isn't just about finding 'x'; it's about efficiently translating complex scenarios and determining sufficiency. This guided path will teach you the core algebraic methods and the critical reasoning skills needed for a top GMAT Quant score.
Start by reinforcing the fundamental skill of isolating a variable. Our interactive balancer visually demonstrates the step-by-step process of solving any linear equation.
Learn the two essential algebraic methods—Substitution and Elimination—for finding a unique solution when you have two variables and two equations.
The GMAT loves word problems. This interactive guide teaches the crucial first step: deconstructing a problem statement and translating it into a solvable equation.
Move on to more complex GMAT-style scenarios (like age or mixture problems) that require you to build and solve a complete system of two equations.
Master the most unique GMAT question type. Learn to analyze equations for sufficiency without needing to solve them, saving valuable time and avoiding common traps.
