Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides Step 1. So lets divide both sides of that equation by 3. A simple saying that may help you remember this is get all your x x s to Texas In other words you need to move all the.
Add and subtract terms to get the variables on one side and the constants on the other.
How do you solve it. So lets say that we have 2x plus 3 2x plus 3 is equal to is equal to 5x minus 2. These 16s cancel out you dont have to write anything-- is equal to negative 32 minus 16 is negative 48. Choose one side to be the variable side and then the other will be the constant side.
