Subtract it from WHAT!
8x + 33 = 7x + 27 Subtract 7x from both sides: x + 33 = 27 Subtract 33 from both sides: x = -6
5x + 3 = 6x + 1 Subtract 5x from both sides: 3 = x + 1 Subtract 1 from both sides: 2 = x
So you have the problem 7 + 3x = 5x + 13you need to get all the x's to one side and all constants "like 7" to the other side.So from the left side, subtract 7 from that side but then subtract it from the 13 on the other side.Now you get 3x = 5x + 6Now subtract the 5x from the right side and from the left side.Now you get -2x = 6Divide the -2 from the x and from the 6 on the right side.Now you get x = -3
9x + 5 = 4x + 3 Subtract 4x from both sides: 5x + 5 = 3 Subtract 5 from both sides: 5x = - 2 Divide both sides by 5: x = -2/5 or -0.4
