Algebra is quite an interesting topic, which many people struggle on, However I will explain the basics of it, the basics is that everything should be balanced in every equation question for example if there is a question of 2x+8=12x, you would need to make the xs balance in one side, whilst the number (being 8, here) is with its kind of numbers, so now the equation reads 8=12x-2x, as the 2x moves over it becomes from positive to negative, so it is 12x-2x which gives 10x, so now the equation is 8=10x So now 10 divide by 8= 10/8=5/4 as a fraction.
