Questions about the Variables on Both Sides poster

What’s on the Variables on Both Sides poster?

The rule, 4 worked examples. Get all the variable terms onto one side and all the constants onto the other, then s…; 5x + 2 = 3x + 10; 5x + 2 = 3x + 10 = x = 4; 7 − 2x = x + 1 = x = 2; 2(x + 3) = 4x = x = 3; No solution case = 3x + 1 = 3x + 5. If everything cancels and you get a true statement like 5 = 5, every number works.
