Example problem:
2x+58=5x-2
First we need to get the variable on one side so we can do that by subtracting 2x from both sides.
58=3x-2
Then we need to isolate our variable to make it by itself on one side. We can do that by adding 2 to both sides.
60=3x
Finally divide each side by 3 and you end up with x=30.
(If you end up with something like 30=30 that means there are infinite solutions. If you end up with something like 24=30 there are no solutions.)
I hope this helps! If you have any questions you can reply and I will try to get back as soon as possible.
