Exercise 1 Page 86

Use the Subtraction Property of Equality.

g=28

Practice makes perfect
To solve the equation, we have to isolate x on one side. Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, we will subtract 5 from both sides of the equation. This will isolate x.
g+5=33
SubEqn

LHS-5=RHS-5

g+5-5=33-5
SubTerm

Subtract term

g=28
To check that this solution is correct, substitute g=28 into the original equation and simplify.
g+5=33
Substitute

g= 28

28+5? =33
AddTerms

Add terms

33=33
Since the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal, g=28 is the correct solution.
