-36 =-36 infinite # of solutions.
What are the steps when solving equations with variable on both sides?
1. Distribute and combine all like terms on each side of equal sign first. 2. Collect variables on one side of the equation using inverse operations. 3. Collect constants on the other side using inverse operations. 4. Multiply/Divide by the coefficient. 5. Write final answer in x= form.
