Exercise 19 Page 443

Use the Addition Property of Equality to eliminate the subtraction.

q=7

Practice makes perfect

To solve the equation, we have to isolate q on one side. Using the Addition Property of Equality, we can add 8 to both sides of the equation. This will eliminate subtraction on the right-hand side and isolate q.

-1=q-8

LHS+ 8=RHS+ 8

-1+ 8=q-8+ 8

Add terms

7=q

Rearrange equation

q=7

To check that this solution is correct, let's substitute q=7 into the original equation and simplify.

-1=q-8

q= 7

-1? = 7-8

Subtract term

-1=-1 ✓

Because the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal, q=7 is the correct solution.
