The methods vary widely, depending on the type of equation. The general principle is to do the same manipulation on both sides of the equation, trying to isolate the variable (leave the variable alone on one side of the equation). For example, if you have
x + 3 = 7
your objective is to have the "x" alone on one side, so you subtract 3 on each side. This results in:
x + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3
x + 0 = 4
x = 4
(You don't usually need to write down all these steps; they were included for clarity.)

What is the numerical factor in a algerbric term?
coefficient
What are some ways to solve an equation?
solve it
What equation do you get when you solve 2x plus 3y 12 for y?
If you solve such an equation for "y", you get an equation in the slope-intercept form.
Can you solve for a variable in an expression or equation?
you can only solve for one in an equation so it can equal something
How do you solve integers?
There is no such thing as "solving integers". You can solve an equation, which means finding all the unknowns in that equation, but you can't solve an integer.

Can you solve for a variable in an equation?
Sure. You can always 'solve for' a variable, and if it happens to be the only variable in the equation, than that's how you solve the equation.
Do you answer an equation?
you don't answer an equation, you solve an equation
