ok, so for example, we have an equation of 4x+5 = 17. To solve for x, we first subtract 5 on both sides. This is called Subtraction Property of Equality.

To keep the balance, add 5 to each side. Example 2. Solve the equation -8 = n - (-4). Solution: After simplifying the right side of theequation, use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 4 from both sides of theequation
