1. Equations – Success if you can do these
3x = 6
4x + 2 = 3x + 7
x/4 = 2
5x – 3 = 7 + 3x
x + 3 = 17
3(x + 2) = 12
x – 4 = 13
4(x + 5) = 32
3x + 4 = 25
3(2x – 2) = 2(x + 6)
4x – 3 = 17
4(3x + 5) = 2(x + 15)

2. How to solve the 4x + 3 = 11 type of equation
The 4, 3 and 11
Could be any numbers

3. 4x + 3 =11
4x + 3 – 3 =
You get rid of the + 3 by - 3

4. 4x + 3 =11
4x + 3 – 3 =
4x = 8
You get rid of the + 3 by - 3

5. 4x + 3 =11
4x + 3 – 3 =
4x = 8
x = 8/4
You get rid of the + 3 by - 3
Divide both sides by 4

6. 4x + 3 =11
4x + 3 – 3 =
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2
You get rid of the + 3 by - 3
Divide both sides by 4

7. just subtract 3 from both sides then divide by 4
For equations like
4x + 3 = 11
just subtract 3 from both sides then divide by 4
4x + 3 = 11
4x =
4x = 8
x= 8/4
x = 2
Like this

8. How to solve the 5x – 3 = 17 type of equation
The 5, 3 and 17
can be any numbers

9. 5x – 3 = 17
5x – =
You get rid of the – 3 by + 3

10. 5x – 3 = 17
5x – =
5x = 20
You get rid of the – 3 by + 3

11. 5x – 3 = 17
5x – =
5x = 20
x = 20/5
You get rid of the – 3 by + 3
Divide both sides by 5

12. 5x – 3 = 17
5x – =
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4
You get rid of the – 3 by + 3
Divide both sides by 5

13. just add 3 to both sides then divide by 5
For equations like
5x – 3 = 17
just add 3 to both sides then divide by 5
5x – 3 = 17
5x =
5x = 20
x= 20/5
x = 4
Like this

14. Try these 1 2x + 4 = 16 7 2x – 5 = 13 2 3x + 7 = 29 8 3x – 7 = 28 310
5x – 15 = 40 5
7x + 6 = 69 11
7x – 19 = 37 6
8x + 23 = 55 12
9x – 12 = 42

15.                              
Remember, always do the same thing to both sides.
Felix is checking that you do this properly.
5x + 3 = 43
5x + 3 – 3 = 43 – 3
5x = 40
5x ÷ 5 = 40 ÷ 5
x= 8
