SOLUTION: I understand simple equations like " x + 8 = 6" and " x + 2 = 10".
x=-2 and x=8 because obviously 8+ 2 is 10. I just don't understand the steps it takes to do equations like 4 -

Question 1122066: I understand simple equations like " x + 8 = 6" and " x + 2 = 10".
x=-2 and x=8 because obviously 8+ 2 is 10. I just don't understand the steps it takes to do equations like 4 - 7x + 10 = 15 - 6x - 8
Please explain to me in detail the steps it takes to solve 4 - 7x + 10 = 15 - 6x - 8
Thank you

4 - 7x + 10 = 15 - 6x - 8
-----------
It's not much different.
You can make step 1, add 7x
-->
4 + 10 = 15 + x - 8 --- now there's only 1 x term
14 = x + 7
x = 7

Collect and simplify like terms, and finally undo what is done to variable x.
Understand that steps can vary.
