Solve for X:
To solve the equation , follow these steps:
1. Subtract from both sides to get:
2. Simplify the equation:
3. Subtract from both sides:
4. Divide both sides by :
4
\( x+7=14 \)
\( x=\text{?} \)
You want to collect all x terms on one side. Since you have on the right, you subtract from both sides to move it to the left side as .
Absolutely! You'd get , then , so . Both approaches work - choose whichever feels easier!
No problem! Just divide both sides by the negative number. For example, if you get , divide both sides by to get .
It doesn't matter! You can move all variables to either side. Most students find it easier to move them to the side with the larger coefficient to avoid negative numbers.
Yes! Always handle variables first, then constants. This keeps your work organized: collect like terms, then isolate the variable by dealing with any remaining numbers.
