How Do You Solve A Simple Linear Equation?
• Simplify the problem by taking the lowest number with the X, which in this case is 3x, and subtracting this number from both sides. This will leave you (in this case) with 4x-10=6. • Notice that one side of your equation has an x value and a “normal” value, and the other side has only a “normal” value. Subtract the “normal” number on the side with the x value from both sides of your equation. 4x=16 Divide the “normal” number by the x value. This will result in x=(your answer) in this case the answer would be x=4.
