    Solving equations by adding or subtracting involves using inverse operations like subtraction and addition to isolate the variable on one side of the equal sign. This allows you to find the value of the variable that makes the equation true, known as the solution. Key steps include using the addition and subtraction properties of equality, which allow adding or subtracting the same number to both sides of an equation while maintaining its truth.

    1-3 Solving Equations by

    Adding or Subtracting
    Vocabulary
    • Equation- uses an equal sign to show
    that two expressions are equal
    • Solve- to find the value of the
    variable the makes the equation true
    • Solution- is the value of the variable
    • Inverse operation – to do the
    opposite of the operation… if its
    addition, do subtraction – if it’s
    division, do multiplication …etc
    Vocabulary
    • Isolate the variable- using inverse
    operations to get the variable alone
    on one side of the equal sign to solve
    the equation
    • Addition property of equality- you
    can add the same number to both
    sides of an equation, and the
    statement will still be true
    • Subtraction property of equality- you
    can subtract the same number to
    Determine which value for x is
    a solution of the equation.
    • X – 4 = 16; x = 12, 20, 21
    ___ - 4 = 16
    ___ = 16

    • ___ - 4 = 16
    ___ = 16

    • ___ - 4 = 16
    ___ = 16
