One Step Equation Word Addition and Subtraction

Solve for x
17 = x + 3

• x = 20

• x = 14

• x = 13

• x = 19

x - 4 = 17

• x = 21

• x = 13

• x = 19

• x = 24

x + 24 = 44

• x = -20

• x = 68

• x = 20

• x = -68

To solve the equation
x + 5 = 8
 I would ....

• subtract 5 from x

• subtract 5 from both sides

• subtract 5 from one side and add 5 to the other

• add 5 to both sides
