When solving a simple equation, think of the equation as a balance, with the equals sign (=) being the fulcrum or center. Thus, if you do something to one side of the equation, you must do the same thing to the other side. Doing the same thing to both sides of the equation (say, adding 3 to each side) keeps the equation balanced.
Solving an equation is the process of getting what you're looking for, or solving for, on one side of the equals sign and everything else on the other side. You're really sorting information. If you're solving for x, you must getx on one side by itself.
Addition and subtraction equations
Some equations involve only addition and/or subtraction.
Example 1
Solve for x.
x + 8 = 12
To solve the equation x + 8 = 12, you must get x by itself on one side. Therefore, subtract 8 from both sides.
