Ok so if you have an equation with a variable on both sides like this : 5x-6=2x
how do you solve it what are the steps?

the answer is x=2

Step-by-step explanation

First of all put all x in one side of equation  and number to the other side

Bare in mind that when we move from one side of equation to another positive integers become negative and negative integers become positive

5x-6=2x

5x-2x=6 here we moved 2x to other side of equation thus, it become -2x, and -6 was moved to other side of equation  thus it become 6

3x=6 we subtracted from 5x-2x and found 3x since we can subtract the variables having the same element i this case that is x

x=6/3 we divided 6/3 in order to find the value of x. please note that 3x means 3*x

x=2
