Solve each equation. Show every step and check your answer by substituting it back in.
1.x + 4 = 6
Answer: x = 2
- Subtract 4 from both sides
- x = 6 − 4 = 2
2.x − 7 = −3
Answer: x = 4
- Add 7 to both sides
- x = −3 + 7 = 4
3.6x = 60
Answer: x = 10
- Divide both sides by 6
- x = 60 ÷ 6 = 10
4.7x = 63
Answer: x = 9
- Divide both sides by 7
- x = 63 ÷ 7 = 9
5.x − 6 = 6
Answer: x = 12
- Add 6 to both sides
- x = 6 + 6 = 12
6.x − 12 = −3
Answer: x = 9
- Add 12 to both sides
- x = −3 + 12 = 9
7.2x = 2
Answer: x = 1
- Divide both sides by 2
- x = 2 ÷ 2 = 1
8.7x = 84
Answer: x = 12
- Divide both sides by 7
- x = 84 ÷ 7 = 12
9.x + 17 = 26
Answer: x = 9
- Subtract 17 from both sides
- x = 26 − 17 = 9
10.x + 5 = 9
Answer: x = 4
- Subtract 5 from both sides
- x = 9 − 5 = 4
11.x − 20 = −11
Answer: x = 9
- Add 20 to both sides
- x = −11 + 20 = 9
12.9x = 9
Answer: x = 1
- Divide both sides by 9
- x = 9 ÷ 9 = 1
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
