Question 619927: Hello. I am sorry for the bother, but please help me. During the summer, I must study algebra so that I can (re)take the test for this one charter school. However, because I am so bad at math, I cannot complete this alone. For today, I just need help understanding the whole concept of "equations". Particulary, I need help on simple things like 3x+6=30... solve for x. Again, I am very sorry for this immediate disturbance. I have tried +6 on both sides, but I do not know what to do next. I must pass their test. Yet, I am still stuck on this simple problem... please help! Thank you.
