Show answers and working
  1. 1. x = 2

    Subtract 7 from both sides: x = 2. Check: 1 × 2 + 7 = 9.

  2. 2. x = 9

    Subtract 2 from both sides: x = 9. Check: 1 × 9 + 2 = 11.

  3. 3. x = 1

    Subtract 13 from both sides: x = 1. Check: 1 × 1 + 13 = 14.

  4. 4. x = 10

    Subtract 5 from both sides: x = 10. Check: 1 × 10 + 5 = 15.

  5. 5. x = -2

    Subtract 19 from both sides: 4x = -8. Divide by 4: x = -2. Check: 4 × -2 + 19 = 11.

  6. 6. x = 10

    Subtract 13 from both sides: 9x = 90. Divide by 9: x = 10. Check: 9 × 10 + 13 = 103.

  7. 7. x = 12

    Subtract 14 from both sides: 2x = 24. Divide by 2: x = 12. Check: 2 × 12 + 14 = 38.

  8. 8. x = -5

    Subtract 13 from both sides: 9x = -45. Divide by 9: x = -5. Check: 9 × -5 + 13 = -32.

  9. 9. x = 12

    Subtract 7x from both sides: 1x + 12 = 24. Subtract 12: 1x = 12. Divide by 1: x = 12.

  10. 10. x = -2

    Subtract 2x from both sides: 1x + 15 = 13. Subtract 15: 1x = -2. Divide by 1: x = -2.

  11. 11. x = -1

    Subtract 1x from both sides: 7x + 20 = 13. Subtract 20: 7x = -7. Divide by 7: x = -1.

  12. 12. x = -4

    Subtract 3x from both sides: 1x + 9 = 5. Subtract 9: 1x = -4. Divide by 1: x = -4.

Worked examples

Easy example

Solve x + 9 = 15.

  1. Subtract 9 from both sides: x = 6.
  2. Check: 1 × 6 + 9 = 15.
  3. Answer: x = 6
Medium example

Solve 2x + 7 = 17.

  1. Subtract 7 from both sides: 2x = 10.
  2. Divide by 2: x = 5.
  3. Check: 2 × 5 + 7 = 17.
  4. Answer: x = 5
Hard example

Solve 8x + 19 = 1x + 19.

  1. Subtract 1x from both sides: 7x + 19 = 19.
  2. Subtract 19: 7x = 0.
  3. Divide by 7: 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.
