Every x in one equation means the same number. Add or subtract the same expression on both sides, combine like terms, and divide by the remaining nonzero coefficient. Explain each step on paper.
Worked example
5x + 2 = 2x + 14. Subtract 2x: 3x + 2 = 14. Subtract 2: 3x = 12. Divide by 3: x = 4. Both original sides equal 22.
