Solve each equation. Show every step and check your answer by substituting it back in.
1.x + 13 = 25
Answer: x = 12
- Subtract 13 from both sides
- x = 25 − 13 = 12
2.8x = 16
Answer: x = 2
- Divide both sides by 8
- x = 16 ÷ 8 = 2
3.6x = 12
Answer: x = 2
- Divide both sides by 6
- x = 12 ÷ 6 = 2
4.x − 11 = −7
Answer: x = 4
- Add 11 to both sides
- x = −7 + 11 = 4
5.x − 5 = 1
Answer: x = 6
- Add 5 to both sides
- x = 1 + 5 = 6
6.x − 11 = −3
Answer: x = 8
- Add 11 to both sides
- x = −3 + 11 = 8
7.x − 18 = −12
Answer: x = 6
- Add 18 to both sides
- x = −12 + 18 = 6
8.x − 10 = −2
Answer: x = 8
- Add 10 to both sides
- x = −2 + 10 = 8
9.x − 8 = −4
Answer: x = 4
- Add 8 to both sides
- x = −4 + 8 = 4
10.x + 11 = 12
Answer: x = 1
- Subtract 11 from both sides
- x = 12 − 11 = 1
11.6x = 72
Answer: x = 12
- Divide both sides by 6
- x = 72 ÷ 6 = 12
12.7x = 77
Answer: x = 11
- Divide both sides by 7
- x = 77 ÷ 7 = 11
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.
