How do you solve equations with variables on the both sides?

Like.... 2x-3=6(x-5) I made this equation so don't solve it.

Even though you made up the equation, I'll solve it as an example:

2x - 3 = 6(x-5)
2x - 3 = 6x - 30 (add 3 to each side)
2x -3 + 3 = 6x - 30 + 3 
2x = 6x -27  (then you subtract 6x from each side, u have to put both "x" on the same side)
2x- 6x= -27
-4x = -27 (divide -4 from each side)
x = 27/4

(Hope this helps)

If you need me to explain it some more, just ask...

First you would have to distribute the number outside the parenthises to the numbers inside the parenthesis
Then you would have to add,subtract,divide, or multiply some of the number to get x all alone on one side
(See above answer)
Sorry this probably didnt help but the above answer might be abke to help you
