Models One Step Equations for Adding and Subtracting

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

Which choice models this situation? Marcus needs to sell 25 tickets to a fundraiser by Friday. So far, he has sold 9 tickets. How many tickets does he still need to sell?
