Would anyone mind explaining to me as simply as possible how to work out linear equations, thanks.
The easiest explanation i could tell you is that the goal is to get a all variables on one size of the =. I would suggest watching some youtube videos on this because some people learn by watching instead of reading. This is a good example of one that can prepare you for any future equations.
