To solve a simple equation, follow these steps:
1. Identify the variable in the equation. The variable is usually represented by a letter, such as x.
2. Collect all the terms involving the variable on one side of the equation and constants on the other side. For example, if you have the equation 2x + 5 = 11, subtract 5 from both sides to get 2x = 6.
3. Simplify each side of the equation. In the example above, divide both sides by 2 to get x = 3.
4. Check your solution by substituting the value of the variable back into the original equation to make sure it satisfies the equation.
By following these steps, you can solve a simple equation and find the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
