Solving Algebra Equations with Variables on Both SidesAlgebra Equations with Variables on Both Sides are really tough. But, you will have no problems solving these equations after you follow the step-by-step instructions in these 3 examples.
This is it! Our last type of equation to solve before applying our knowledge to solve real world problems! Yes... the whole reason we are learning to solve these equations!
So far, you've learned how to solve one-step equations, two-step equations, and equations with fractions. If you haven't mastered these skills or need a refresher, please go back and review these lessons before attempting this one! It will be so much easier if you have the background! So, if you are ready, let's move on! Equations with variables on both sides look intimidating, but they really aren't that hard if you have the background skills. In fact, I think these types of equations are fun because it's like moving pieces of a puzzle around. This is what you need to remember: Let's look at a few examples. Example 1
This next example shows how to solve if the distributive property is involved. Example 2
Yes, this is a confusing topic, so if you are still having trouble, check out example 2 on video. This last example shows how to solve if fractions are involved. Example 3
Example 3 on video... It doesn't look too hard, does it? Remember: it's like moving puzzle pieces around - all the variable terms on one side and all the constant terms on the other side!

What People Are Saying..."I'd like to start off by relaying my sincerest gratitude for your dedication in teaching algebra. Your methodology is by far the simplest to follow, primarily because you take the time to include the small steps in between that most other teachers leave out. It helps to know why you are doing something. I am 45 and heading to college to get my BS in Business. I need to brush up, hence the visit to your site. Great Job!" Jimmy - United States "I stumbled onto your site after I found out that I needed to use some fundamental algebra for an assignment. Turns out I had forgotten some things and your great site helped me remember them like "that" (snap of fingers). The organization of the site let me find exactly what I was looking for so easily. Kudos to you for maintaining such a great resource for students of all ages!" Tom - United States "I just wanted to write and basically thank you for making such a wonderful website! I'm 20 years old and about to take a basic placement test for college. I wanted to brush up on my Algebra skills and I stumbled upon your site. I'm amazed at how simple you make it and how fast I'm remembering Algebra! I don't remember getting most of the answers right when I had an actual teacher in front of me teaching this. Thanks a lot!" Elizabeth - United States "I am a pensioner living in South Africa. I stumbled on your website, the best thing that could ever happen to me! Your course in Algebra has helped me a lot to better understand the different concepts. Thank you very much for sharing your skills for teaching math to even people like me. Please do not stop, as I am sure that your teachings have helped thousands of people like me all over the world." Noel - South Africa This is an amazing program. In one weekend I used it to teach my Grade 9 daughter most of the introductory topics in Linear Relations. I took her up to Rate of Change and now she can do her homework by herself.
