Equations One Step

In the equation
x + 7 = 12
7 is being added to the variable, x. How should you show your work to isolate the variable and solve the equation? 

• Subtract 7 from both sides. The solution is x = 5.

• Add 7 to both sides.
  The solution is x = 19.

• Multiply both sides by 7 The solution is x = 84.

5 less than a number is 15.

• x - 5 = 15

• 5 - x = 15

• 15 - x = 5

x + 12 = 20

• x = 32

• x = -32

• x = 8

• x = -8
