answer back into the
original equation to see
if it is correct.
Correct! Great Job!
Add 5 from both sides of the equation:
3x-5=16
+5=+5
Divide both sides by 3:
3x=21
3 =3
This gives the solution:
x=7

question.
• Hint: Remember to do
REVERSE order of
operations to solve for
x.
Correct! Great Job!
Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation:
5x+7=42
-7=-7
Divide both sides by 5:
5x=35
5 =5
This gives the solution:
x=7

Correct! Great Job!
Add 6 from both sides of the equation:
8x-6=58
+6=+6
Divide both sides by 8:
8x=64
8 =8
This gives the solution:
x=8
