    These six equations require combining like terms before solving. Easier combines variable terms on one side and uses integer solutions. On level adds signed halves and quarters, with some collection on both sides. Harder has two variable terms and two constants on each side, with more opposing signs and close fractional coefficients, with four noninteger solutions. The default answer key shows the needed collection, the solving steps and the exact solution.
