    These eight equations have variable terms on both sides and one solution each. Easier uses integer coefficients and two fractional solutions. On level starts with four integer equations, followed by four with fractions. Harder includes close fractional coefficients, more negative coefficients after collection, and five noninteger solutions. The default key shows the solving steps and checks both sides of the original equation.
