We need to write the steps in the general strategy for solving linear equations.

• Step $1:$ Simplify each side of the equation as much as possible by using the distributive property.Then Combine like terms.
• Step $2:$ Bringall the variable terms on one side of the equation by using the Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality.
• Step $3:$ Collect all the constant terms on the other side of the equationby using the Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality.
• Step $4:$ Simplify the equation untilthe coefficient of the variable term equals to $1$by using the Multiplication or Division Property of Equality. State the solution to the equation.
• Step $5:$ Check the solution. Substitute the solution into the original equation to make sure the result is a true statement.
