Solve the following equation for $\\var{Letter}$.

", "advice": "

To solve $\\simplify[basic]{{Num1}{Letter}+{Num2}}=\\var{Num3*Num1+Num2}$ we need to get the $\\var{Letter}$ by itself. If we divide both sides by $\\var{Num1}$ then we would need to divide both $\\var{Num2}$ and $\\var{Num3*Num1+Num2}$ so it will be easier to deal with $\\var{Num2}$ first by subtracting it from both sides and then dividing by $\\var{Num1}$ afterwards. This gives us the following,

\n

\\[\\simplify[basic]{{Num1}{Letter}+{Num2}}=\\var{Num3*Num1+Num2}\\]

\n

\\[\\simplify[basic]{{Num1}{Letter}+{Num2}-{Num2}}=\\simplify[basic]{{Num3*Num1+Num2}-{Num2}}\\]

\n

\\[\\simplify[basic]{{Num1}{Letter}}=\\var{Num3*Num1}\\]

\n

\\[\\simplify[basic]{{Num1}{Letter}}\\div\\var{Num1}=\\var{Num3*Num1}\\div\\var{Num1}\\]

\n

\\[\\var{Letter}=\\var{Num3}.\\]
