How do you work out equations?

tricky...it has alot to do with trial and error!

step 1: Get the question e.g: 1 x 4y = 3 + 2y...what is y?

step 2: Rearange the Words (group the Words ending with x to the normal ones)

e.g: 1 x 2 = 4y -2y

step 3; THINK LOGIC! E.g: 4 times y takeaway 2 times y is y doubled. y x 2 = 2

y x 1=1 so y is 1!
