Question

(literal equations) solve for x: x-b= c

Answer 1

this just means "get x all by itself"

To keep the equation balanced, if you want to get rid of the " - b" term on the left side, you can add b to the left side, but you also have to add it to the right side.

Answer 2

x - b = c
x - b + b = c + b
x + (-b + b) = c + b
x + 0 = c + b
x = c + b

Answer 3

Does that make sense? These should be pretty easy as soon as you get the hang of it...
