I've had this question recently, hope it helps. :)
FYI, If you have trouble with algebraic questions such as these, I recommend a website called MathPapa.com, It's a user-friendly "calculator", but it takes you step by step through each problem so It's like your own free tutor. :) It's helped me learn a lot and now i'm doing much better in math!
