Linear Equations Both Sides

• a = - 2

• a = 2

• a = 5

• a = -1

• x = 15

• x = 3

• x = -3

• no solution

• Add 7 to both sides

• Divide both sides by -7

• Divide both sides by 7

• Subtract 7 from both sides

• Add 1 to both sides
  

• Collect the numbers to the right

• Divide 36 by 18

• Subtract 1 from both sides
