When you solve the equation x +9 = 15, how do you know what number to subtract from both sides? Why is it important to subtract the same number from both sides of the equation?

OpenStudy (kaylaprincess):

You need to subtract 9 because you wouldn't be able to fully solve the equation without it being on the other side of the equation.
