Step 1: Get all terms that contain the variable x to the left-hand side of the equation Step 2: Get all terms that do not contain the variable x to the right-hand side of the equation Step 3: Combine like-terms Step 4: If the coefficient on x is not 1, then divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient Why do you force us to guess where you're stuck, in this exercise?
