When writing a equation how do you know where to put the equal sign ?

The equal sign is generally placed at the separation between the left hand side and the right hand side

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically a typical equation has two parts, and one part is seen to be equal to the other part, and they are:

Generally equations are expressed algebraically,that is using letters/ alphabets and symbols to express mathematical relations

The left hand side mostly is the solution of the equation, while the right hand side contains symbols, alphabets used to find solution to the equation.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
