What is the equation you're trying to solve?

anonymous · Answer

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

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

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