Show answers and working
  1. 1. x = 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides: x = 2. Check: 1 × 2 + 14 = 16.

  2. 2. x = 6

    Subtract 4 from both sides: x = 6. Check: 1 × 6 + 4 = 10.

  3. 3. x = 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides: x = 2. Check: 1 × 2 + 10 = 12.

  4. 4. x = 7

    Subtract 19 from both sides: x = 7. Check: 1 × 7 + 19 = 26.

  5. 5. x = 4

    Subtract 19 from both sides: 5x = 20. Divide by 5: x = 4. Check: 5 × 4 + 19 = 39.

  6. 6. x = 1

    Subtract 8 from both sides: 5x = 5. Divide by 5: x = 1. Check: 5 × 1 + 8 = 13.

  7. 7. x = 3

    Subtract 2 from both sides: 2x = 6. Divide by 2: x = 3. Check: 2 × 3 + 2 = 8.

  8. 8. x = -3

    Subtract 17 from both sides: 6x = -18. Divide by 6: x = -3. Check: 6 × -3 + 17 = -1.

  9. 9. x = 5

    Subtract 2x from both sides: 3x + 7 = 22. Subtract 7: 3x = 15. Divide by 3: x = 5.

  10. 10. x = -10

    Subtract 3x from both sides: 2x + 3 = -17. Subtract 3: 2x = -20. Divide by 2: x = -10.

  11. 11. x = -5

    Subtract 5x from both sides: 2x + 8 = -2. Subtract 8: 2x = -10. Divide by 2: x = -5.

  12. 12. x = 0

    Subtract 2x from both sides: 2x + 16 = 16. Subtract 16: 2x = 0. Divide by 2: x = 0.

Worked examples

Easy example

Solve x + 4 = 8.

  1. Subtract 4 from both sides: x = 4.
  2. Check: 1 × 4 + 4 = 8.
  3. Answer: x = 4
Medium example

Solve 7x + 13 = 90.

  1. Subtract 13 from both sides: 7x = 77.
  2. Divide by 7: x = 11.
  3. Check: 7 × 11 + 13 = 90.
  4. Answer: x = 11
Hard example

Solve 3x + 17 = 2x + 17.

  1. Subtract 2x from both sides: 1x + 17 = 17.
  2. Subtract 17: 1x = 0.
  3. Divide by 1: x = 0.
  4. Answer: x = 0

Common mistakes

What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.

  • Does an operation to only one side.

    Correction: Keep the balance — both sides, every time.

  • Uses the wrong inverse (subtracts to undo multiplying).

    Correction: Undo × with ÷ and + with −.

Teacher tips

  • · Always ask pupils to substitute their answer back in.

Parent tips

  • · 'I think of a number' puzzles at dinner.

Real-life applications

  • · Working out an unknown price or time from a total.
