We need to perform two steps to solve these kind of equations.
We perform the opposite of operations involved in the equation.
We should get the variable on one side of '=' and constants on the other side.
The variable should have 1 as coefficient.
Mostly addition or subtraction will be first step. It depends upon the type of equation we solve.
Then we may have to perform multiplication or division operations.
Example:
3x + 4 = 31
1) Add -4 on both the sides of the equation to eliminate 4 from the left hand side of '='. We get,
3x = 27
2) Divide both the sides of the equation by 3 to get x with coefficient 1. We get,
x = 9.

How do you solve the equation 7 plus 4y -5?
The question contains an algebraic expression but there is no equation to solve.
How do you solve algebraic expressions?
An equation or an inequality can be solved but an expression cannot be solved.
What are the x solutions for the equation 5x2-13644?
The question contains an algebraic expression but, since there is no equality sign, there is no equation to solve.
What is the difference between a algebraic equation and a algebraic expression?
An equation has an equal = sign whereas an expression does not.
How is an algebraic expression different form an algebraic equation?
An algebraic equation contains an equality sign whereas an algebraic expression has no equality sign
Solve this equation -9h-6 12h 4022?
It is not an equation because there's no equal sign but some kind of algebraic expression.
In algebraic expressions is there a solution?
In many cases you can simplify an algebraic expression. You don't really "solve" them; an equation can be solved. An equation is a declaration that two expressions are equal, for example, x + 3 = 10.
What is logically equivalent exprssions?
If an algebraic expression is equivalent to another algebraic expression then it is an equation.
Is 5x an algebraic expression?
yes, 5x is a expression. A expression in algebra does not contain a = sign. a = sign means its an equation. A algebraic equation is built out of expressions.
What is an algebraic statement?
An algebraic statement is an algebraic expression or an algebraic equation written in words.
What is the differences between an algebraic expression and an algebraic equation?
an algebraic expression has no = sign. it could be like x+4, but an equation has to have an = sign. like x+4=5
Do you solve an expression the same way you solve an equation?
If we are talking about the algebraic expressions, then an expression can be simplified or be evaluated for specific values of its variables, while an equation need to be solved, in other words to find the values of the variables that make the equation a true statement. If we are solving an equation, then we can work in the same way that we can simplify an expression (since an equation is a statement that states that two expressions are equal), or factoring an expression.
