When solving an equation with variables on both sides, the goal is
move all variables to one side & all constants to the other side by doing the opposite operations
add all terms together
divide away all numbers
combine the x-terms & the constants into one term
What is a possible first step to solve this equation:
-11 - 3x = 44 - 2x
Add 3 to both sides
Subtract 11 to both sides
Add 11 to both sides
Add 2 on both sides.

Combine like terms first, then solve the equation:
4x - 5x + 9 =5x - 9
x = -3
x = 9
x = 3
x = -9
Solve the equation:
5x - 4 + 2x = 3

7(x + 2) + 3 = 73 Step 1: Distribute
7x + 14 + 3 = 73 Step 2: Combine like terms
7x + 17 = 73 Step 3: Subtract 17
Step 4: Divide by 7
x = -8
x = 8
x = - 12.86
x = 12.86
12x - 15 = 3(2x+3) 1. Distribute
12x - 15 = 6x + 9 2. Finish solving
x = 4
x = -4
x = 2
x = -2
5x - 14 = 8x + 4
