Sole the euation and then ite it’s solution set.
1. X = 3 → {3}
2. 2 = Y → {2}
3. X – 7 = 2 → {9}
Addition property of Equality:
If you add the same quantity to both sides of the equation or subtract the same quantity from both side
of an equation. The euation’s solution set does not change.
Example:
X – 7 = 2 →
X – 7 + 7 = 2 + 7 →
X + 0 = 9 →
X = 9 →
{9}
Example:
W + 7 = -12 →
W + 7 – 7 = -12 – 7 →
W = -19 →
{-19}
Example:
3x – 11 = 2x +15 →
3x – 11 – 2x = 2x + 15 – 2x →
X – 11 = 15 →
X – 11 + 11 = 15 + 11 →
X = 26

Document Summary
Sol(cid:448)e the e(cid:395)uation and then (cid:449)(cid:396)ite it"s solution set: x = 3 {3, 2 = y {2, x 7 = 2 {9} If you add the same quantity to both sides of the equation or subtract the same quantity from both side of an equation. X 7 + 7 = 2 + 7 . W + 7 7 = -12 7 . 3x 11 2x = 2x + 15 2x . X 11 + 11 = 15 + 11 . To simplify this, i have to get rid of the parentheses. The distributive property says to multiply the outside number onto everything inside the parentheses. 16x 20 = 15x + 219 . 16x 20 + 20 = 15 x + 219 + 20 . Check: in the equation you are checking, replace x with the number you came up with and work the equation.
