• + 2

• - 2

x = 8

x = 4

2 -

x 2

2 +

x = 12

2 x

Reorder the following equation.

• subtract 2 from both sides

• x + 2 - 2 = 4 - 2

• x + 2 = 4

• x = 2

Mark thinks that if x+3=9, then x=6. Is he right?

• No, x = 12

• Yes, x = 6

• No, x = 27

Jenny thinks that x=4 if 5x=25. Is she right?

• No, x = 5

• No, x = -4

• Yes, x = 4

Sam thinks that x = 12 if y/2 = 24

• No, x = 22

• Yes, x = 12

• No, x = 48

Sara thinks that x = 2 if 3x=-6. Is she right?

• No, x = -2

• Yes, x = 2

• No, x = 3

• No, x=-3
