Identify Equation: Identify the equation to solve.We have the equation 15=x+5. We need to find the value of x.
Isolate Variable: Isolate the variable x. To isolate x, we need to subtract 5 from both sides of the equation. 15−5=x+5−5
Perform Subtraction: Perform the subtraction.Subtracting 5 from both sides gives us:10=x
Check Solution: Check the solution.We can check our solution by substituting x back into the original equation:15=10+515=15Since both sides are equal, our solution is correct.
