Let's fill in the blanks and complete the exercise.
Subtraction Equation: x - a = b
Rule: To isolate x, add a to both sides of the equation.
Example: x - 3 = 9
To solve for x, add 3 to both sides of the equation:
x - 3 + 3 = 9 + 3
This simplifies to:
x = 12
So the answers are:
- x = 12
You can fill in the blanks with the appropriate answers as seen above!
