Solving Equations With Variables on Both Sides If you have any fractions get rid of those first by multiplying ALL terms by the denominator. Collect the constants to the other side using the Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality. 6x 3x 2 4.
3-6x 4-6x Then add 6x to both sides.
Choose which side will be the variable sidethe other side will be the constant side. Choose one side to be the variable side and then the other will be the constant side. Add fifty three to both sides of the equation so that you get all constants on one side together. Since the left side is the variable side the 9 is out of place.
