Distribute
Collect terms with the same variable
Factor out the variable
Equate coefficients
Solve the system of equations 
Write as a partial fraction

Here's an example:


It's quit simple, you just always have to remember your keep your terms organized and you'll get it easily.

I feel like Math Analysis is going to get harder, so we should all buckle up and get ready!
