How to solve equations

First is the fundimental principals of algebra (steps to solving equations)
1) First to solve the equation is to ask yourself 'What is happening to my variable?'
2)Do the inverse operation (opposite) to both sides of the equation

Initial Equation / Problem
x + 23
=
45

Subtract 23 from each side
x + 23 - 23
=
45 - 23

Result / Answer
x
=
22
3) Write the variable = answer


Steps for checking an equation
1) Re-write ex. 3+x=7
2)Plug in your answer ex. 3+4=7
3)Simplify ex. 7=7
4) Variable=answer ex.x=4
