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

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".
