To solve an equation for one variable, we will utilize PEMDAS ( parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, add/subtract) but backwards. So we will first add/subtract any numbers to the other side to get the variable by itself. We will then divide/multiply any numbers to get the variable by itself.
