Create Free AccountTo solve a two-step equation like 3x + 5 = 14: First, undo addition/subtraction (subtract 5 from both sides to get 3x = 9). Then, undo multiplication/division (divide both sides by 3 to get x = 3). Always do inverse operations in reverse order.
Solving for x means finding the value of the unknown variable that makes the equation true. You isolate x on one side of the equation by performing the same operations on both sides until x is alone.
