That is called "solving for a variable".
If there is only one variable in the equation, then it is a "solution".
For example, 3x + 4y = 13
can be solved for x as 3x = -4y + 13
x = -(4/3)y + 13/3 This is solved for x.
Another equation with only one variable: 5z - 6 = 4
5z = 10
z = 2 This is a solution.

you isolate the variable to the left side of the equation and keep all other terms and factors to the right side, as in solving for x in 2- x = 2. You have to use basic algebraic manipulation to isolate the chosen variable, i.e., adding multiplying or dividing by an equal amount to each side of the statement in order to isolate x.
-- You select an operation. -- You apply the same operation to each side of the equation. -- You keep doing both steps until the equation says (the variable) = (the value of the variable)
The main rule is that whatever rule you perform on one side of the equation must also be performed on the other side of the equation. You have to choose the operation in such a way as to isolate the variable you want to solve for.
As usual when solving equations, you need to "isolate" the variable, in this case, the variable "x". 4x means 4 times x; if you divide both sides of the equation (the left side and the right side) by 4, you will have achieved this.

When you solve a one-variable equation, your goal is to isolate the variable.To isolate the variable means to make it be alone on one side of the equals sign.In the equation shown here, you can isolate the variable by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation and simplifying
To isolate a variable, you need to perform inverse operations to the ones applied to the variable. This involves moving constants to the other side of the equation, and then using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
Isolating a single variable in terms of the rest of the equation provides a solution to that variable. That is, if you know the equation that equals the variable, then you can figure out its value.
Isolate the variable
In algebra, its to move the pieces of the equation around so that the variable is isolated to only one side of the sign
It is to make the variable the subject of the equation.

That depends on the equation. In general, you'll try to isolate the variable, by using operations (on both sides of the equation) that get rid of anything other than the variable, on the side the variable is on.
-- You select an operation. -- You apply the same operation to each side of the equation. -- You keep doing both steps until the equation says (the variable) = (the value of the variable)
That depends entirely on the equation which has not been given but in general whatever is done on one side of an equation must be repeated on the other side in order to keep the equation in 'balance'
