StepsVideoExamplesQuiz Home: References Steps for solving
equations with the variable on both sides Step 4: Solve for
variable (Multiply or Divide to solve for the variable) Step 3:
Isolate the variable (move the constant terms to opposite side of
the variable) Step 2: Move the variable to one side (the side with
the bigger coefficient ) Step 1: Simplify Equation (Use
Distributive Property and Combine Like Terms)

following examples: Example 1: 2x + 5 = 4x 7 Example 2: 3 (x + 2) =
-2x 9
Slide 7
StepsVideoExamplesQuiz Home: References Example 2 Example 1: 2x
+ 5 = 4x 7 Step 1 (Simplify): No need to simplify since already in
simplest terms Step 2 (Move Variable to one side): We will move the
variable to the right since 4x is bigger than 2x: 2x + 5 = 4x 7.
-2x -2x. 5 = 2x 7 Step 3 (Move constant terms):. +7 +7. 12 = 2x
Step 4 (Solve for Variable):. 2 2. 6 = x Thus the answer is x =

(x + 2) = -2x 9 Step 1 (Simplify): Step 2 (Move Variable to one
side): Step 3 (Move constant terms): Step 4 (Solve for Variable):
Thus the answer is x = -3 3 (x + 2) = -2x 9 3x + 6 = -2x 9.+2x +2x.
5x + 6 = -9. - 6 - 6. 5x = -15. 5 5. x = -3
