How to solve an Equation?
Equation :
An equation indicates that the two terms are equal. The two terms are separated by the symbol "=".
For example :
$3 x + 5 = 11$
From the above equation, we can infer that $3 x +5$ and 11 are equal.
Solving an equation :
Step 1: Add or subtract similar terms.
Step 2: Bring the variables on one side, and number on the other side of the '=' symbol.
Step 3: Multiply or divide the terms, to get the value of the variable.
For Example :
Solve the equation $3 x + 5 = 11$
Step 1: $3 x + 5 = 11$
Step 2: $3 x = 11 - 5$
$ 3 x = 6$
Step 3: $3 x = 6$
$ x = \frac{6}{3}$
$x = 2$.
The value of x is 2.
This means if we substitute $x = 2$ in the given equation, both the Left-hand side and Right-hand side should be equal.
