", "advice": "To solve $\\simplify[basic]{{Letter}/{Num1}+{Num2}}=\\var{Num3}$ we need to get the $\\var{Letter}$ by itself. It is easiest if we subtract $\\var{Num2}$ from both sides first but it would also be ok to multiply both sides by $\\var{Num1}$ so long as we remember to multiply both $\\simplify[basic]{{Letter}/{Num1}}$ and $\\var{Num2}$. Starting by subtracting $\\var{Num2}$ from both sides we get the following.
\n\\[\\simplify[basic]{{Letter}/{Num1}+{Num2}}=\\var{Num3}\\]
\n\\[\\simplify[basic]{{Letter}/{Num1}+{Num2}-{Num2}}=\\simplify[basic]{{Num3}-{Num2}}\\]
\n\\[\\simplify[basic]{{Letter}/{Num1}}=\\var{Num3-Num2}\\]
\n\\[\\simplify[basic]{{Letter}/{Num1}}\\times \\var{Num1}=\\var{Num3-Num2}\\times\\var{Num1}\\]
\n\\[\\var{Letter}=\\var{(Num3-Num2)*Num1}.\\]
