12x2 + 7x + 1 = 12x2 + 3x + 4x + 1 = 3x*(4x + 1) + 1*(4x + 1) = (4x + 1)*(3x + 1)
You move one of the like terms to the other side using algebraic operations. For instance... 3x + 5y = 7x + 3 ... and you want to solve for x ... ... first, subtract 3x from both sides ... 3x - 3x + 5y = 7x - 3x + 3 5y = 4x + 3 ... do I need to explain further???
7x-3=3x+8 7x-3x=8+3 4x=11 x=11/4=2.75
Oh, dude, that's like basic math, but sure, I'll help you out. So, 7x + 4x equals 11x. It's like adding up all the x's in the neighborhood and getting 11 of them. Math can be fun, right?

To do this equation, you collect like terms. 7x-4x+x-15 is your original equation, you have 3 terms with "'x'" in them, and they are 7x, -4x, and x. 7x + (-4x) +x simplifies to 4x, because 7-4 = 3 + 1 = 4 (the x is really 1x....). After this, you get 4x-15, which is as simplified as this equation can be.

4y + 3w + 4x + 9y + 7x - 7w (combine like terms)-4w + 11x + 13y
combine like terms. 3x+1+4x-5=31 3x+4x=7x 7x+1-5=31 1-5=-4 7x-4=31 then solve it 7x=35 x=5
you have to combine like terms so its 4x-824. just simplify it.
4x-7x = -3

-4x=10 and -7x is 65? -4x=10 therefore 4x is -10, x = -2.5 -7x = 65, 7x = -65, x = -9.26
Separate and simplify the common terms. 5x^2 - X^2 = 4x^2 -7x - 2x = -9x Now put these terms back together 4x^2 - 9x Or if simplified further, you get: x(4x-9)
7x = 4x - 93x = -9x = -3
