6. Additional Example 1A: Adding and Subtracting to Solve Equations
Solve –8 + y = –13. Check your answer.
–8 + y = –13
y is added to –8.
Add 8 to both sides.
y = –5
Check
–8 + y = –13
Write the equation.
–8 + (–5) = –13 ?
Substitute –5 for y.
–13 = –13 ?
–5 is a solution.  6

7. Subtracting a number is the same as adding its opposite
Subtracting a number is the same as adding its opposite. To solve the equation on the previous slide using algebra tiles, you can add eight yellow tiles to both sides and then remove zero pairs.
Helpful Hint 7

8. Additional Example 1B: Adding and Subtracting to Solve Equations
Solve n – 2 = –8. Check your answer.
n – 2 = –8
2 is subtracted from n.
Add 2 to both sides to undo the subtraction.
n = –6
Check
n – 2 = –8
Write the equation.
–6 – 2 = –8 ?
Substitute –6 for n.
–8 = –8 ?
–6 is a solution.  8

9. Solve –2 + y = –7. Check your answer.
Check It Out: Example 1A
Solve –2 + y = –7. Check your answer.
–2 + y = –7
y is added to –2.
Add 2 to both sides.
y = –5
Check
–2 + y = –7
Write the equation.
–2 + (–5) = –7 ?
Substitute –5 for y.
-7 = -7 ?
–5 is a solution.  9

10. Solve n – 6 = –14. Check your answer.
Check It Out: Example 1B
Solve n – 6 = –14. Check your answer.
n – 6 = –14
6 is subtracted from n.
Add 6 to both sides to undo the subtraction.
n = –8
Check
n – 6 = –14
Write the equation.
–8 – 6 = –14 ?
Substitute –8 for n.
–14= –14 ?
–8 is a solution.  10

11. Additional Example 2A: Multiplying and Dividing to Solve Equations
Solve 4m = –20. Check your answer. 4m 4
___
-20 4
___
m is multiplied by 4. Divide both sides by 4 to undo the multiplication. =
m = –5
Check
4m = –20
Write the equation.
4(–5) = –20 ?
Substitute –5 for m.
–20 = –20 ?
–5 is a solution.  11

12. Additional Example 2B: Multiplying and Dividing to Solve Equations
Solve = –7. Check your answer. x 3 x 3 __
3 • = 3 • (–7)
x is divided by 3. Multiply both sides by 3 to undo the division.
x = –21
Check x 3 __
= –7
Write the equation.
–21 ÷ 3 = –7 ?
Substitute –21 for x.
–7 = –7 ?
–21 is a solution.  12

13. Solve 3n = –15. Check your answer.
Check It Out: Example 2A
Solve 3n = –15. Check your answer.
n is multiplied by 3. Divide both sides by 3 to undo the multiplication. 3n 3
___
–15 3
___ =
n = –5
Check
3n = –15
Write the equation.
3(–5) = –15 ?
Substitute –5 for n.
–15 = –15 ?
–5 is a solution.  13

14. Solve = –6. Check your answer.
Check It Out: Example 2B
Solve = –6. Check your answer. y 4 __ y 4 __
4 • = 4 • (–6)
y is divided by 4. Multiply both sides by 4 to undo the division.
y = –24
Check
= –6 y 4 __
Write the equation.
–24 ÷ 4 = –6 ?
Substitute –24 for y.
–6 = –6 ?
–24 is a solution.  14
