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
- 6x+5 = 2x+13
- x+13 = 4x+10
- 5x+10 = 6x-4
- 4x+20 = 29-5x
- 22-x = 6x+8
- 57-6x = 5x+13
- 17-5x = 9-x
- 14-x = 22-5x
- 10-6x = 8-4x
