Can someone teach me how to solve an equation with variables on both sides? i need help :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x+3=4x-4 like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah something like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put all that have x one side and that have not , to the other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the equation you're trying to solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

myko is right, but when you move a number to the other side of the eual sign you need to change the sign of the number itself. 4 becomes -4 and -4 becomes 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i understand that part but i cant go on further, i always get stuck :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after you got something like this: ax=b do this: x=b/a andyou are done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now how would you solve 4x=18?
