Question

How do you solve equations that contain like terms

Answer 1

To solve an equation that contains LIKE TERMS you just have to combine them together.

For example, 3x-22+2x=48.

3x-22+2x=48 Add both x's together.

5x-22=48 <this will be the answer. After that, just solve it like a regular equation.

If the equation that you're trying to solve looks like this, 5x-41=59+9x
Subtract the smallest number on both sides. 

5x-41=59+9x
-5x           -5x
-41=59+4x <this will be your answer and then you just have to solve it like a regular equation
