Example Question #35 : One Step Equations With Integers

solve for

Possible Answers:

None of the other answers.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve for x you simply isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, apply the opposite operations to manipulate the equation.

Subtract 15 from both sides:

The red terms canceled.

We just subtract as normal on the right side.
