Solving Equations by Addition (3.2)


Practice A
Solve (be sure to show your work).
A quantity added to the variable is moved by adding its opposite to both sides.

1) n - 18 = -5 5) -6 = 8 + x

2) x + 3 = 12 6) 15 = a + 18

3) a + 8 = -7 7) n - (-5) = -6

4) 10 + n = 4 8) Write an equation for and solve the sum of a


number and six is negative nine.

Practice B
Solve (be sure to show your work).
A quantity added to the variable is moved by adding its opposite to both sides.

1) n + 9 = -21 5) 3x - 2x + 1 = 8

2) x - (-6) = 2 6) -(-a) -(-3) = -4

3) -12 = -8 + a 7) 10 + n -15 = 4

4) 20 = 28 + n 8) Name the variable, write an epxression and


solve: The Stars scored forty-two points and won by
eighteen points. How many points did the other team
score?

Practice C
Solve (be sure to show your work).
A quantity added to the variable is moved by adding its opposite to both sides.

1) -37 = n + 19 5) -6x + 2 + 7x = -3 • 5

2) 10 + x = -52 6) 10 + a - 3 + 5 = 12 ÷ (-3)

3) -17 + a = -(-10) 7) n + [4 -2(3 - 5)] = 6

4) -3 + (n + 1) = 12 8) Name the variable, write an epxression and


solve: The sum of the players and nine coaches is
fifty-six. How many players are there?
