Exercise 5 Page 279

Use the Subtraction Property of Equality to eliminate the addition.

x=53

To solve the equation, we have to isolate x on one side. Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, we will subtract 59 from both sides of the equation. This will eliminate the addition and isolate x.

59+x=112

LHS-59=RHS-59

59+x-59=112-59

Subtract term

x=53

The value x=53 makes the given equation true.
