An equation is a mathematical statement that two expressions are equal. The solution of an equation is the value that when substituted for the variable makes the equation a true statement.

Example: 3x + 5 = 14 is an equation, in which 3x+5 and 14 are two expressions separated by an ‘’equal’’ sign.

Step 1: Simplify each side of the equation by removing parenthesis and combining the like terms.

Step 2: Use addition or subtraction to isolate the variable term on one side (preferably in the left side).

Step 3: Use Multiplication or Division to solve for the variable.

$\frac{x}{5}=6$

Now solving the equation$\frac{x}{5}=6$with proper steps

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{x}{5}=6\\ 5\text{ â¶Ä‰}·\text{ â¶Ä‰}\frac{x}{5}=\text{ â¶Ä‰}5\text{ â¶Ä‰}·\text{ â¶Ä‰}6\text{ â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰Multiply â¶Ä‰both â¶Ä‰sides â¶Ä‰by â¶Ä‰}5\text{ }\\ x=30\end{array}$

Solution of the equation is$x=30$
