Exercise 5 Page 251

Use the Subtraction Property of Equality to eliminate the addition.

x=4.4

Practice makes perfect
To solve the equation, we have to isolate x on one side. Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, we will subtract 9.8 from both sides of the equation. This will eliminate the addition and isolate x.
x + 9.8 = 14.2
x + 9.8 -9.8 = 14.2 - 9.8
x = 4.4
