Keep an equation balanced

Use the same operation on both sides to find an unknown, then substitute your answer to check it.

What you’ll understand

  • An equation states that two expressions have the same value.
  • Subtracting the same number from both sides preserves equality.
  • Dividing both sides by the same non-zero number preserves equality.

THE CONCEPT LABGUIDED SAMPLE
KEEP BOTH SIDES BALANCED
2x = 10
−5 on the left. −5 on the right.

“How do I solve 2x + 5 = 15?”

One equation. Three clear steps.

  1. 1Subtract 5 from both sides: 2x = 10.
NOW, OVER TO YOU

Your turn: if 2x + 5 = 19, what is x?
