\huge\textsf{Hey there!}


\large\textsf{x + 3 = 15}


\huge\text{SUBTRACT 3 to BOTH SIDES}


\large\textsf{x + 3 - 3 = 15 - 3}


\large\textsf{CANCEL out: 3 - 3 because that gives you 0}


\large\textsf{KEEP: 15 - 3 because it helps solve for x}


\large\textsf{15 - 3 = x}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf x = 12}}}\huge\checkmark
