To solve equation for algebra, e dey usually mean say make you find wetin di variable be. Algebra equations dey usually set up with numbers and/or variables for both sides, like dis: x + 2 = 9 × 4. To figure out wetin di variable be, you need to get am by imsef for one side of di equals sign. Wetin dey left for di other side of di equals sign na your answer. For di example (x + 2 = 9 × 4), to get x by imsef for di left side of di equation, we need to remove di "+ 2". To do dis, we go simply subtract 2 from dat side, wey go leave us with x = 9 × 4. However, to make sure say both sides of di equation dey equal, we still need to subtract 2 from di other side. Dis one go leave us with x = 9 × 4 - 2. As we dey follow di order of operations, we go multiply first, then subtract, wey go give us answer say x = 36 - 2 = 34. As we just see above, to get x by imsef for one side of di equals sign usually mean say make we remove di numbers wey dey next to am. To do dis, we go perform di "opposite" operation for both sides of di equation. For example, for di equation x + 3 = 0, since we see a "+ 3" next to our x, we go put a "- 3" for both sides. Di "+ 3" and "- 3", wey go leave x by imsef and "-3" for di other side of di equals sign, like dis: x = -3. In general, addition and subtraction dey like "opposites" — do one to remove di other. See below:  For addition, subtract. Example: x + 9 = 3 → x = 3 - 9  For subtraction, add. Example: x - 4 = 20 → x = 20 + 4 Multiplication and division dey small hard to work with pass addition and subtraction, but dem get di same "opposite" relationship. If you see a "× 3" for one side, you go cancel am by dividing both sides by 3, and so on. With multiplication and division, you must perform di opposite operation for everything for di other side of di equals sign, even if e pass one number. See below:  For multiplication, divide. Example: 6x = 14 + 2→ x = (14 + 2)/6  For division, multiply. Example: x/5 = 25 → x = 25 × 5 Exponents na advanced pre-algebra topic — if you no sabi do dem, see our basic exponent article for more information. Di "opposite" of an exponent na di root wey get di same number as am. For example, di opposite of di 2 exponent na square root (√), di opposite of di 3 exponent na di cube root (3√), and so on. E fit dey small confusing, but, for dis kind cases, you go take di root of both sides when you dey deal with an exponent. On di other hand, you go take di exponent of both sides when you dey deal with a root. See below:  For exponents, take di root. Example: x2 = 49 → x = √49  For roots, take di exponent. Example: √x = 12 → x = 122

Summary:``` <response>: Try get di variable by itself for algebra equations. Cancel addition with subtraction (and vice versa). Cancel multiplication with division (and vice versa). Cancel exponents by taking di root (and vice versa).
