Steps to Solving Linear Equations
1. Simplify each side of the equation, if needed, by

distributing or combining like terms.
2. Move variables to one side of the equation by using the

opposite operation of addition or subtraction.
3. Isolate the variable by applying the opposite operation

to each side.
a. First, use the opposite operation of addition or subtraction.
b. Second, use the opposite operation of multiplication or
division.
4. Check your answer.

Example X–5=4
X–5 +5=4+5
X=9
Example X – 7 = 13
X – 7 + 7 = 13 + 7
X = 20
Example 2X – 3 = 7
2X – 3 + 3 = 7 + 3
2X = 10
2 2
X=5
Example 5X + 4 = 9
5X + 4 - 4 = 9 - 4
5X = 5
