In order to solve the equation, the steps would be as follows:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms.
Step 2: Move all terms containing variables to one side of the equation and all constant terms to the other side by performing addition or subtraction.
Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable to isolate the variable.
Solution: The solution is the value of the variable that satisfies the equation after performing all the necessary steps.
