2. Solving Equations Using Addition or Subtraction
Sign In
Use the Subtraction Property of Equality to eliminate the addition.
q= 11
To solve the equation, we have to isolate q on one side. Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, we will subtract 14 from both sides of the equation. This will eliminate the addition and isolate q.
LHS-14=RHS-14
Subtract term
Rearrange equation
To check that this solution is correct, let's substitute q= 11 into the original equation and simplify.
Since the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal, q= 11 is the correct solution.
