  1. Subtract 5 from both sides to get 3x = 15. Divide by 3. x = 5.
  2. Divide both sides by 2 to get x + 4 = 9. Subtract 4. x = 5.
  3. Subtract 3x from both sides to get 2x − 2 = 10. Add 2 to get 2x = 12. Divide by 2. x = 6.

Is this pack right for me?

Start here if you can solve a simple equation but lose track of the steps when a bracket appears or the unknown is on both sides. Write one step per line so you can spot exactly where your working changes.
