In general, to solve an equation for a given variable, you need to the variable;
means , where some number is the answer they're looking for
an example:
Solve
you need to get the all by itself on one side of the "equals" sign, and some number on the other side
so, add to both sides to eliminate left of the equal sign;remember: no matter what kind of equation you're dealing with -- linear or otherwise -- whatever you do to the one side, you must do the exact same thing to the other side
