| x | + | a | = | b | | | x plus a equals b |
| | - | a | | | | | the opposite of +a is -a |
| | | | | - | a | | apply -a to other side to keep equation in balance |
| | | x | = | b | - | a | consolidate both sides |
OR
show as follows
x + a = b
x + a - a = b - a
x = b - a
Example
| x | + | 2 | = | 5 | | | x plus 2 equals 5 |
| | - | 2 | | | | | the opposite of +2 is -2 |
| | | | | - | 2 | | apply -2 to other side to keep equation in balance |
| | | x | = | 3 | | | consolidate both sides |
x + 2 = 5
x + 2 - 2 = 5 - 2
x = 3
