How To: Solve multi-step equations with variables on both sides

This video is aimed at beginner level viewers and shows one of the basic techniques involved while solving linear equations having one variable.

This method finds it use when the variables and constants are present on both sides of the linear equation to be solved.

As shown in the video, this method simply involves performing basic equation manipulations so that the variable terms are segregated to one side of the equation and the constant terms remain on the other. Solving the equation now simply requires dividing the entire equation by the coefficient of the variable to get the required answer.
