An equation says two expressions are equal. A linear equation has the unknown only to the first power, like 3x+5=203x + 5 = 20. To solve it, undo what has been done to xx, doing the same thing to both sides so the equation stays balanced.

A two-step equation

Solve 3x+5=203x + 5 = 20.

أظهر خطوات الحل
  1. Subtract 5 from both sides.
    3x=153x = 15
  2. Divide both sides by 3.
    x=5x = 5
  3. Check by substituting.
    3(5)+5=20✓3(5) + 5 = 20 \checkmark

الإجابة: x=5x = 5

Brackets and unknowns on both sides

  1. Expand any brackets.
  2. Collect the xx terms on one side and the numbers on the other.
  3. Divide by the coefficient of xx.

مثال محلول

Brackets and x on both sides

Solve 3(x−2)=x+43(x - 2) = x + 4.

أظهر خطوات الحل
  1. Expand the bracket.
    3x−6=x+43x - 6 = x + 4
  2. Subtract xx from both sides and add 6.
    2x=102x = 10
  3. Divide by 2.
    x=5x = 5

الإجابة: x=5x = 5
