ballance method is just a fance method of helping you remember to DO THE SAME THING TO BOTH SIDES OF AN EQUATION to keep it ballanced


-10=2(-3x+1)
divide BOTH SIDES by 2 to get rid of that 2 in front
-5=-3x+1
minus BOTH SIDES 1
-6=-3x
divide BOTH SIDES by -3
2=x


-x-7=-12
add7 BOTH SIDES
-x+7-7=-12+7
-x+0=-5
-x=-5
multiplY BOTH SIDES -1
x=5
