1 answer

Question 1

The equation to solve is:

\[ x + 18 = 32 \]

To isolate \( x \), you should subtract 18 from both sides:

\[ x + 18 - 18 = 32 - 18 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = 14 \]

So the correct response is:

Subtract 18 from both sides of the equal sign. x = 14.

Question 2

The equation to solve is:

\[ x - 12 = 15 \]

To isolate \( x \), you should add 12 to both sides:

\[ x - 12 + 12 = 15 + 12 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = 27 \]

So the correct response is:

Add 12 to both sides of the equal sign. x = 27.
