Two sided equations

Stuck? Read the notes

Answers
Remember the simple rules:
  • subtract the smallest amount of x’s from both sides first
  • you will then get a one-sided equation (with no negative algebra if you have done it correctly) which you can read

    Solve the following

  1. 5x+4 = 4x+5
  2. x+10 = 5x+6
  3. 7x-6 = 6x+8
  4. 16-3x = 3x+4
  5. 5x+31 = 40-4x
  6. 5x+12 = 44-3x
  7. 4-x = 5-2x
  8. 11-6x = 5-4x
  9. 13-x = 28-6x
