1) 4x=12 Dividing both parts of the equation by 4 we obtain x=12/4=3
2) 3x+16=37 First let's transfer 16 to the right part of the equation so we have only terms containing x in the left part. Keep in mind that when transferring terms from one part to another we should change the sign in front of them: 3x=37-16 3x=21 Dividing both parts by 3 we get x=21/3=7
