The difference is that first you have to understand the problem and translate it into an equation (or equations).
The answer will depend very much on the nature of the equation. The steps required for a one-step equation are very different from the steps required for a partial differential equation. For some equations there are no straightforward analytical methods of solution: only numerical methods.
Just keep doing the same thing to both sides of the equation at every step.
The first step is produce the radical equation that needs solving.
The order of operations relate to solving multi-step equations because you are following the order of operations just in a backwards way.
