Solve Multi Step Equations with Variables on Both Sides

Which of the following are basic rules used for solving algebraic equations?

• Whatever you do to one side of the equal sign, you must copy and do on the other side of the equal sign

• Negative signs can be ignored

• Always start on the left side, regardless of where the variable is

• Always do the opposite operation
