Solving Single-Sided Equations Guide

1. The document provides examples of solving single variable equations by isolating the variable on one side of the equation and showing each step. 2. More examples are given with variables isolated using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 3. Further examples involve combining operations, fractions, decimals, and parentheses.
