How to Solve Equations With Variables on Both Sides
11a + 9 = 4a + 30
Step 1: Make a wall
Step 2: Pick a side for the variables and a side for the numbers
Loading...
Step 3: Move the all variables to one side
Loading...
Loading...
You should end up with 7a + 9 = 30
Loading...
Step 4: Move all the numbers to one side
Loading...
Step 5: Use inverse operation and divide both sides by 7
VOILA!!!!!
a = 3
That is how you solve equations with variables on both sides.
