Front

Solving x + 5 = 12

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x = 7

Front

Solving 3x = 15

Back

Divide both sides by 3: x = 5

Front

Solving x - 4 = 10

Back

Add 4 to both sides: x = 14

Front

Solving x/2 = 6

Back

Multiply both sides by 2: x = 12

Front

Solving 2x + 3 = 11

Back

Subtract 3, then divide by 2: x = 4

Front

Solving 5x - 7 = 18

Back

Add 7, then divide by 5: x = 5

Front

Solving x + 8 = 3

Back

Subtract 8 from both sides: x = -5

Front

Solving 4x = 20

Back

Divide both sides by 4: x = 5
