In order to solve an equation for a variable, we need to isolate that variable on one side of the equation (either left side or right side).
Following are some steps to solve equation/inequality in one variable:
1) Get rid constant number from on side by applying reverse operation of addition or subtraction.
2) Get rid variable terms from other side by applying reverse operation of addition or subtraction.
3) Combine like terms on both sides.
4) Get rid any coefficent ( a number in front of a variable) by dividing from both sides.
5) Finally you get a variable on one side and solution on other side.

take school size then multiply it by the ratio to get the amount of student who prefer such toothpaste.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6x +2x
Step-by-step explanation:
when the number= x, you can just form the equation as per usual. 6x = a number times 6; 2x = a number times 2.
x is used bc the number is an unknown value. only x can be used bc it is stated the same number. hsing different alphabets such as y or z indicates the unknown value ia different.
