Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides

15 - x = 4x

15 - x + x = 4x + x

15 + 0x = 5x

15 = 5x

3 = x

x = 3

For example, we can add a quantity with a variable to both sides without changing the equation or the values that make it true:

5x = 6 + 2x

5x - 2x = 6 + 2x - 2x

3x = 6 + 0x

3x = 6

x = 2

Similarly, we can subtract a term with a variable from both sides of the equation:

Multiple Choice

Solve: 3x + 12=2x + 10

-2

-22

Multiple Choice

Solve: 3(2x + 2) = 4x - 6

-6

-10
