One-Step Equations with Subtraction
+2 +2 x = 8 Review Example 1: x - 2 = 6 +2 +2 x = 8 You use the addition property of equality to add 2 to both sides in order to get the “x” by itself. To check to see if your answer is correct, substitute 8 in the place of x in your equation. Solve the equation. If it is true then the value for x is correct.
Ex. 2: y – 6 = 12 You use the addition property of equality to add 6 to both sides in order to get the “y” by itself. +6 +6 y = 18 To check to see if your answer is correct, substitute 18 in the place of y in your equation. Solve the equation. If it is true then the value for y is correct
Practice x - 9 = 24 a – 6 = 86 y - 5 = 24 m - 13 = 33 x = 33 a = 92 y = 29 m = 46
Closure Explain how to solve x – 23 = 243.
