  1. Subtract it from both sides.
  It is the same thing as changing the sign and moving it to the other side.

  2. Example: 3x+7=9x-15
  So your going to subtract 3x from both sides. You should end up with 7=6x-15. So now your giong to add 15 to both sides. You should get 22=6x.
  
  Hope that helps!! :)

explanation: The text contains a math question and an answer. The question is: "How do you get a variable term from one side of an equation onto the other side?" The answer provided is: "To move a variable term from one side of an equation to the other, you can subtract or add the term to both sides of the equation. This is based on the principle of equality, which states that what you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other to maintain the balance. For example, if you have the equation 3x + 7 = 9x - 15, to move the 3x to the other side, you subtract 3x from both sides, resulting in 7 = 6x - 15. Then, to move the -15 to the other side, you add 15 to both sides, resulting in 22 = 6x."
