SOLVING EQUATIONS
USING ADDITION AND
SUBTRACTION
01
In algebra there are operations that
“undo” each other such as addition
and subtraction.
For example, if you start with 8 and
add 6, you can get back to 8 by
subtracting 6 as shown below.

SOLVING EQUATIONS USING ADDITION AND
SUBTRACTION
Solve the equation:x + 5 = 11
Solution: Your goal is to isolate the variable x.
x + 5 = 11 Write the original equation.
x + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5 Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate
the variable on the left hand side.
x = 6
Check: Substitute 6 for the variable in the original equation.
x + 5 = 11
6 + 5 = 11
11 = 11
Write the original equation.
Substitute 6 for x.
Both sides are equal therefore our answer is correct.
Solve the equation:15 = a + 8
Solution: Your goal is to isolate the variable a.
15 = a + 8 Write the original equation.
15 - 8 = a + 8 - 8 Subtract 8 from both sides to isolate
the variable on the right hand side.
7 = a
Check: Substitute 7 for the variable in the original equation.
15 = a + 8
15 = 7 + 8
15 = 15
Write the original equation.
Substitute 7 for a.
Both sides are equal therefore our answer is correct.
Solve the equation: y - 7 = 10
Solution: Your goal is to isolate the variable y.
y - 7 = 10 Write the original equation.
y - 7 + 7 = 10 + 7 Add 7 from both sides to isolate
the variable on the left hand side.
y = 17
Check: Substitute 17 for the variable in the original equation.
y - 7 = 10
17 - 7 = 10
10= 10
Write the original equation.
Substitute 17 for y.
Both sides are equal therefore our answer is correct.
Solve the equation:
n - 15 = - 4
Solution: Your goal is to isolate the variable n.
n - 15 = - 4 Write the original equation.
n - 15 + 15 = - 4 + 15 Add 15 from both sides to isolate
the variable on the left hand side.
n = 11
Check: Substitute 11 for the variable in the original equation.
n - 15 = - 4
11 - 15 = - 4
-4= - 4
Write the original equation.
Substitute 11 for n.
Both sides are equal therefore our answer is correct.
Solve the equation:
7x - 3 = 6x - 7
Solution: Your goal is to isolate the variable x.
7x - 3 = 6x - 7 Write the original equation.
7x - 6x = - 7 + 3 Transpose 6x on the left hand side
and the constant -3 on the right
hand side. Combine like terms.
x = -4
Check:
7x - 3 = 6x - 7
7(-4) - 3 = 6(-4) -7
-28 - 3 = -24 - 7
Write the original equation.
Substitute -4 for x.
-31 = -31

SOLVING EQUATIONS
USING
MULTIPLICATION AND
DIVISION
01
Like addition and subtraction,
multiplication and division are
inverse operations.
For example, if you start with 3 and
multiply it by 8, you can get back to
3 by dividing 24 by 8 as shown
below.

MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION
Solve the equation:
8x = 72
Solution: Your goal is to isolate the variable x.
8x = 72 Write the original equation.
8x = 72 Divide both sides by 8 to get rid of the
numerical coefficient 8 beside x.
x = 9
8 8
Check:
Substitute 9 for the
variable in the original
equation.
8x = 72
8(9) = 72
72 = 72
Thus, the solution is 9.
Solve the equation:
85 = 5x
Solution: Your goal is to isolate the variable x.
85 = 5x Write the original equation.
85 = 5x Divide both sides by 5 to get rid of the
numerical coefficient 5 beside x.
17 = x
5 5
Check:
Substitute 17 for the
variable in the original
equation.
85 = 5x
85 = 5(17)
85= 85
Thus, the solution is 17.
Solve the
equation:
x
Solution: Your goal is to isolate the variable x.
Write the original equation.
Multiply both sides by 6 to get rid
of the 6 in the denominator on the
left hand side.
x = 48
Check:
Substitute 48 for the variable

Thus, the
solution is 48.

Now you have been able to solve every equation by applying a
single inverse operation. Such an equation is called one-step
equation. Some equations involve two operations. To solve
these two-step equations, undo addition and subtraction first.
Then, undo multiplication and division.
