Solving Equations with Brackets & Variables on Both Sides | Advanced Algebra Made Easy
Struggling with equations that have brackets and variables on both sides?
In this lesson from Maths Master Class, we break it down step by step so you can solve advanced algebra equations with confidence.
We’ll learn how to:
Expand brackets correctly
Collect like terms
Move terms using reverse operations
Change signs correctly when transposing
Solve equations with variables on both sides
Verify solutions to check if the equation is balanced
Through clear worked examples, you’ll see exactly how to handle expressions like:
3(x + 4) = 2(2x + 1)
2(3x − 4) = 4(x − 3) + 2
5(x − 3) + 2 = 3x + 5
This lesson is perfect for:
Secondary school students
➡️WAEC / GCSE / IGCSE candidates
➡️Students preparing for algebra tests
➡️Anyone who wants to master solving linear equations
➡️Understanding how to solve equations with brackets and variables on both sides is a key foundation topic in algebra. Once you master this, more advanced topics become much easier.
