Answer:

Here's a general process:

1. Write down your equation.

2. Simplify if necessary, like combining like terms.

3. Isolate x by doing the opposite operation on both sides.

4. Check your answer by substituting it back into the equation.

One method is by using inverse operations. This means that you can use addition and subtraction to solve for x if the equation includes multiplication or division. For example, if you have the equation 4x=12, you can divide both sides by 4 to get x=3. Another method for solving for x is by using factoring.
