Exercise 4 Page 247

Use the Addition Property of Equality to get rid of the subtraction.

x=30

Practice makes perfect

To solve an equation, we isolate x on one side. Using the Addition Property of Equality, we will add 17 to both sides of the equation.

x-17=13

LHS+17=RHS+17

x-17+17=13+17

Add terms

x=30

To check that this solution is correct, let's substitute x=30 into the original equation and simplify.

x-17=13

x= 30

30-17? =13

Subtract term

13=13 ✓

Since the left-hand side and the right-hand side are equal, x=30 is the correct solution.
