Forget long lectures. You can master the core of algebra right here, in just 8 taps.

Tap 1: The Variable. 'x' is just a mystery box. Your job is to find out what's inside.

Tap 2: The Balance. The '=' sign is sacred. Both sides must always be equal. No exceptions.

Tap 3: The Opposites. The only way to get rid of something is to use its opposite (+ vs -).

Tap 4: The Goal. Your only mission is to get the mystery box ('x') completely by itself.

Tap 5: The Golden Rule. Whatever you do to one side, you MUST do to the other. This is the law.

Tap 6: Combine Like Terms. You can't add apples and oranges. Keep your 'x's and your numbers separate.

Tap 7: The Final Move. If 'x' is multiplied by a number, divide both sides by that number to free it.

Tap 8: The Victory. 'x' is alone. The value on the other side is the treasure you've found.

That's it. You've mastered the fundamental logic. The rest is just practice.
