Can someone help me understand on how to Solve Equations ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's an extremely broad question. What type of equations, specifically?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea really. My teacher just gave me this packet saying solve the equations. but ones like. 2x-10 = 8x+44

Essentially you want to keep adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing BOTH sides until you get x = something. This usually entails getting all the x terms on one side and all the other terms on the other. So for yours: 2x - 10 = 8x + 44 subtract 44 2x -54 = 8x subtract 2x -54 = 6x divide by 6 x = -9
