1 answer

For Question 1, the equation is \( x + 12 = 42 \).

To solve for \( x \), you would subtract 12 from both sides:

\[ x + 12 - 12 = 42 - 12 \ x = 30 \]

So, the true statement is: Subtract 12 from both sides of the equal sign. x = 30.


For Question 2, the equation is \( x - 6 = 18 \).

To solve for \( x \), you would add 6 to both sides:

\[ x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6 \ x = 24 \]

So, the true statement is: Add 6 to both sides of the equal sign. x = 24.
