45=x+7

OpenStudy (welshfella):

to find the value of x subtract 7 from both sides

OpenStudy (welshfella):

45 - 7 = x+ 7 - 7 45 - 7 = x what is the value of x?

OpenStudy (jenma):

38

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the purpose of subtracting both sides by 7 was to isolate x on right hand side . You need to keep the equation balanced so whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other.

OpenStudy (jenma):
