Real Examples Solved by Mathpanda.net
1. Subtract 9 from both sides:
4x = 25 - 9
4x = 16
2. Divide both sides by 4:
x = 16 ÷ 4
x = 4
4(4) + 9 = 16 + 9 = 25
1. Subtract 2x from both sides:
5x - 2x - 3 = 12
3x - 3 = 12
2. Add 3 to both sides:
3x = 12 + 3
3x = 15
3. Divide by 3:
x = 15 ÷ 3
x = 5
Left: 5(5) - 3 = 22 | Right: 2(5) + 12 = 22
Why Show the Steps Instead of Just the Answer?
A lot of calculators only give you the final number. This one is built differently — the goal is to help you actually understand how to solve for x, step by step, so the next equation gets easier on your own. This is especially useful for students preparing for exams, where showing your working matters as much as the final answer.
