To solve an equation with a fractional coefficient, multiply each side of the equation by the multiplicative inverse of the fraction.
The first step to solve the equation -2x+9=6 is to divide each side by -2.
If the equation has variables on both sides of the equals sign, the first thing you should do is get the variables on one side of the equals sign.
Equations can have no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions.
You would use the Associative Property first to solve the equation 6(x-3)+10=2(3x+4)
An equation that is true for every value of the variable is called an identity.
x+8=-9
4=p+19
-4+a=15
3c=-18
-42=-6b
w/4=8
