Answer 2

For example,
\[2x+1 = 3\]
First subtract 1 from both sides
\[2x = 2\]
Then divide by 2
\[x = 1\].
In general, you want to move constant terms (numbers without variables) to one side of the equal sign, and variable terms to the other using addition or subtraction. Then finish by dividing by the coefficient of the variable term.
