Answer 1

For the first equation \( x + 18 = 32 \):

To solve for \( x \), subtract 18 from both sides:
\[
x + 18 - 18 = 32 - 18 \\
x = 14
\]

So the correct statement is:
**Subtract 18 from both sides of the equal sign. x = 14.**

---

For the second equation \( x - 12 = 15 \):

To solve for \( x \), add 12 to both sides:
\[
x - 12 + 12 = 15 + 12 \\
x = 27
\]

So the correct statement is:
**Add 12 to both sides of the equal sign. x = 27.**
