When solving equations, our goal is to get When solving equations, our goal is to get the variable by itself. the variable by itself. We need to get the variable on one side of the We need to get the variable on one side of the
equal sign.equal sign. We do this by adding and subtracting We do this by adding and subtracting
numbers from BOTH SIDES of the equation numbers from BOTH SIDES of the equation to keep the equation balanced.to keep the equation balanced. These are called These are called EQUIVALENT EQUATIONSEQUIVALENT EQUATIONS
To get the variable by itself, we do the To get the variable by itself, we do the INVERSE OPERATIONINVERSE OPERATION Operations that undo each otherOperations that undo each other

Example 1Example 1 Solve the following equations:Solve the following equations:
xx – 9 = -17 – 9 = -17
-11 = -11 = nn – (-2) – (-2)
5 + 5 + xx = -3 = -3

problem with the equation.
1. x + 7 = 9
2. x – 2 = 7
3. 9 – x = 7
a. You have x dollars and your friends repays you the $7 he owes you. You now have $9. How much did you originally have?
b. The temperature was x °F. It fell 2°F and is now 7°F. What was the original temperature?
c. A 9 foot post extends x feet below the ground and 7 feet above ground. What is the length x buried below the ground?
