just remember each time you have to do the same to both sides, and let the terms you want to get rid of dictate what you do.

so after you have got all the like terms together (in quadratic equations all the xsquareds would be together too, giving you three types of terms)....

first look to get rid of the number term on the side with the Xs. in this case we have a +22 we don't want

then in the next step we know what 34Xs are, but we only want one, so divide by 34. just remember to do the same to each side
