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.

The objective when solving an equation is to....

• isolate the variable.
• check the solution.
• guess and check.
• Combine Like Terms.
