Been there, done that! Got 98 in algebra! Remember: balance the equation by performing the same operation on both sides until x stands alone. Like in 3x - 5 = 10, add 5 to both sides, then divide by 3. You'll find x = 5.

Solving a linear equation? Easy peasy! Isolate the variable by using inverse operations. For example, if you have 2x + 3 = 7, subtract 3 from both sides, then divide by 2. Voila, x = 2!

Honestly, just plug it into a calculator or an online solver. Math done in seconds!

Start by simplifying both sides of the equation. Combine like terms and get the variable on one side and constant terms on the other. For example, in 5x - 2 = 3x + 6, move 3x to the left side and -2 to the right side, you get 2x = 8, then divide by 2, so x = 4.
