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 solve 5t-5 equals 5t plus 7?
You don't for t, as gathering your coefficient variables together = 0 5t - 5 = 5t + 7 now, subtracting 5t from either side to get the variables on one side of the equation renders this. - 5 does not = 7
What makes equation a true statement?
A feasible solution, which when applied means that all the variables etc... on one side of the equation equal to whatever is on the other side of the equation.
Which is the best way to solve the equation?
That depends on the equation. In general, you'll try to isolate the variable, by using operations (on both sides of the equation) that get rid of anything other than the variable, on the side the variable is on.
How do you know that the equation is in simple form?
Simple form is where all of the variables in the equation are put on one side on the equation, which a zero on opposite side of the equation ex. a+b+c=0 18a + 4b + 5 = 0
How do you solve for the indicated variable?
Algebraically manipulate the equation until you have the indicated variable on one side of the equation and all of the other factors on the other side.
