How do I solve equations with variables on both sides?

You can solve an equation which have variables on both sides is to choose a side you wish to get all variables on. Then you use the property of adding the same expression to both sides, multiplying both sides by the expression, dividing both sides by the same expression.

Firstly make all the variables on one side then add or subtract or divide or multiply according to expression So by this technique you can solve it

Always bring all your variables onto one side of the equals sign and take the numbers without variables to the other side of the equation. Simplify both sides of the equation and then we can divide or multiply to find the variable Du itself. As a very simple example: if we had 4x - 3 = 2x + 9 4x - 2x = 9 + 3 (we moved the 2x and the 3) 2x = 12 (Simplified both sides) x = 6 (divided by 2) Remember to switch the signs when you move a number over the equals sign.

To solve equations with variables on both sides, follow these steps: Combine like terms on each side: If there are multiple instances of the variable on one side, combine them. Do the same for any constant terms. Get all variables on one side: Choose one side to keep your variable. If 'x' is on both sides, subtract or add 'x' as needed to move all 'x' terms to one side. Isolate the variable: Now get 'x' by itself by doing the inverse operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) to any numbers still on the same side as 'x'. Let's use a simple example: 2x + 3 = 3x - 2. We start with the equation 2x + 3 = 3x - 2. We want to get all the 'x' terms on one side, so we subtract '2x' from both sides: 2x - 2x + 3 = 3x - 2x - 2, which simplifies to: 3 = x - 2. Next, to solve for 'x', we add 2 to both sides of the equation: 3 + 2 = x, so x = 5.

Hi Michelle! I will give you an example of how to solve an equations with variables on both sides: 4-4x=8x-5x-10 Firstly, we have to put all variables to one side. So we will have -4x-8x+5x=-10-4 -7x=-14 x= -14/-7 x=2
