Question

f 5 + x = 12, and you add -5 to the left side of equation, what should you add to right side of equation?

Answer 1

Hi there! :)

Answer:

x=7

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Explanation:

Lesson: Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/and Division property of equality

First, you switch sides of an equation.

`x+5=12`

Then, you subtract by 5 from both sides of an equation.

`x+5-5=12-5`

You subtract by the numbers from left to right.

`12-5=7`

Final answer is x=7

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)
