Solving Addition Equations Each side of the equation must be balanced. We balance an equation by doing the same thing to both sides of the equal sign.
Solving Addition Equations Example 1 Solving Addition Equations Solve each equation. Check your answers. (A) x + 62 = 93 Do the opposite - 62 - 62 Do the same thing to both sides of the equation. x = 31 31 + 62 = 93 To check your work, substitute in the value of x.
Solving Addition Equations Example 1 Solving Addition Equations Solve each equation. Check your answers. (B) 8.1 = 1.7 + y Do the opposite Do the same thing to both sides of the equation. - 1.7 - 1.7 6.4 = y 8.1 = 1.7 + 6.4 To check your work, substitute in the value of y.
