Or if you want a simpler way, just subtract 2.79 from 9.93, that's basically the same thing that you will wind up doing later on with the other strategy... The answer is still 7.14

You have to isolate x so the opposite of addition is subtraction.

x + 2.79 = 9.93

Subtract 2.79 to both sides to cancel it out on the left.

x = 9.93 - 2.79

x = 7.14
