1-Step Equations with subtraction
Example 2 Solve y – 7 = -13
What is the variable? The variable is y.
What operation is being performed on the variable? Subtraction.
What is the inverse operation? Addition.
The addition
Using the y – 7 = -13 property of
addition property equality tells
of equality, add 7 + 7 + 7
us to add the
to both sides of y = -6 same thing on
the equation. both sides to
Check your work! keep the
y – 7 = - 13 equation
Plug in equal.
your -6 – 7 = ?
answer. - 13 CORRECT!
Practice: 1-step Equations with subtraction
1. f – 3 = - 5 2. n – 18 = 2
+3 +3 + 18 +18
f = -2 n = 20
check: -2 – 3 = ? check: 20 – 18 = ?
-5 = -5 2=2
3. g – 8 = -2 4. m – 11 = 1
+8 +8 + 11 +11
g=6 m = 12
check: 6 – 8 = ? check: 12 – 11 = ?
-2 = -2 1=1
