What about this one
n-13=8
OpenStudy (kva1992):
same thing instead of an x its just a n treat it like you would treat a x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So
n-13=8
+13 +13
n- 26 =21
OpenStudy (kva1992):
nope
n-13=8
+13 +13
n=21
-13 +13 =0
OpenStudy (kva1992):
dont forget to cancel

Oh ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What about
-44=w+32
-44 -44
W=-76
OpenStudy (kva1992):
yeah thats pretty much it
OpenStudy (kva1992):
try to keep the variable on its own side but you pretty much got it
OpenStudy (kva1992):
oh and also when you try to cancel you have to add the opposite from one side so if its -44 you add 44 to cancel not subtract 44
