Two sided equations
Stuck? Read the notes
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
- x+9 = 5x+5
- 4x+1 = x+4
- 9x-6 = 6x+12
- 41-2x = 6x+1
- 23-2x = 5x+2
- 6x+4 = 39-x
- 4-3x = 7-6x
- 3-3x = 1-2x
- 8-7x = 6-5x
