i dont understand what you mean by symbolic but ill just do an example
2a + 3 = 4 - 5a
first collect like terms
2a +3 -3 = 4 -3 -5a
2a = 4-3 - 5a
2a + 5a = 1 - 5a + 5a
2a + 5a = 1
7a = 1
divide both sides by the coefficient of the unknwown(i.e. the number in front of the letter)
7a/7 = 1/7
a = 1/7

How do you solve a linear equation using the symbolic method?
you cant
Describe the procedure used to solve an equation for a variable?
It very much depends on the equation. The procedure for solving an equation with just one variable is so very different from the procedure for finding solutions to non-linear equations in several variables.
How do you solve imaginary equations?
The answer depends on the nature of the equation. Just as there are different ways of solving a linear equation with a real solution and a quadratic equation with real solutions, and other kinds of equations, there are different methods for solving different kinds of imaginary equations.
Why do you isolate the variable on one side the the equation when solving a linear 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.
What is 306g is equal too 22.5?
It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.
