1. Solving One-Step Equations
Sign In
How can you isolate q on one side?
q=2
To solve the equation we have to isolate x on one side. By adding 11 to both sides, we can cancel out the - 11 and isolate q.
LHS+11=RHS+11
Commutative Property of Addition
a+(- b)=a-b
Add and subtract terms
We find q=2 is the solution to the equation. To check that we have the correct solution, we can substitute q=2 into the original equation and simplify.
Since the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal, q=2 is the correct solution.
