Exercise 1 Page 91

Gather all the variable terms on one side of the equation and all the constant terms on the other side.

$- 5$

Practice makes perfect

To solve an equation, we should first gather all the variable terms on one side of the equation and all the constant terms on the other side. We can do this by using inverse operations and the Properties of Equality.

5 x + 12 = - 13

$LHS - 12 = RHS - 12$

5 x + 12 - 12 = - 13 - 12

Subtract terms

5 x = - 25
