Exercise 2 Page 247

Use the Subtraction Property of Equality to get rid of the addition.

x=9

Practice makes perfect
To solve an equation, we isolate x on one side. Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, we will subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
x+2=11
x+2-2=11-2
x=9
To check that this solution is correct, let's substitute x=9 into the original equation and simplify.
x+2=11
9+2? =11
11=11 âś“
Since the left-hand side and the right-hand side are equal, x=9 is the correct solution.
