Best Answer

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.)
