If you encounter an equation with variables on both sides, the here's what you need to consider. 1) If you have to, use the distributive law/property. 2) After that, you need to combine like terms. 3)Then, try to get the variable on one side of the equal sign. 4)Try to get constants to the other side. 5) Finally, you need to solve for x. I hope this answers your question! :)
Here's an EASY example...
Ex. 3x + 2 = 2x + 5
- 2 = - 2
3x = 2x + 3
- 2x = -2x
x = 3

How can you use proportions to solve equations with variables on both sides?
A calculator can be used to proportions to answer a equation. This is easier to solve when having variables on both sides.
How do you do an equation where there are variables on both sides?
You try to bring all instances of the variable to one side. Here is an example:5x + 5 = 3x - 2 Subtracting 3x on both sides: 2x + 5 = -2 Subtracting 5 on both sides: 2x = -7
How do you solve radical equations with variables on both sides?
First, get the radical by itself. Then, square both sides of the equation. Then just solve the rest.
How do you solve an equation with the same variable on both sides?
The variables may have different values.
How do you solve variables on both sides-negative coefficients?
-85-6x=91+2x
How do you solve variables on both sides equation using integer rules?
You first have to get rid of the numbers that don't have variables. then you divide by the variable and solve for it.
How do you solve an equation with two different variables on one side?
You decide to solve for one of the variables, for example, for "y". What exactly you do would depend on how the variables are related. For example, if you have:x + y = 5 and you want to solve for "y", you subtract "x" on both sides. If you have a product, such as: xy = 10 you divide both sides by "x".
How do you get 2 variables on opposite sides of the equationon one side of the equation?
7X + 2 = 5X - 1 subtract 5X from both sides 2X + 2 = -1 ==============
What reduces a equation that has two variables to an equation that has one variable?
combining like terms or subtracting from both sides of the equation.
When an equation has two variables there is a number of values that the two variables could have?
If an equation has two variables, we'll call them (x,y), the variables can be any value as long as both sides of the equation have the same result. If the equation was x = y, then the variables could be (1,1), (2,2), (3,3),etc...
How do you solve variables on both sides?
1) distribute 2) combine like terms 3) get all variables on one side 4) get contsants to the other side 5) find x
How do you find the value of variables for a triangle?
They have to be across from each otherJoin the equationsSolveYou will know if you got it right if your slope is the same for both sides
