Question:
Solve the equation: x plus 14 equals 29. Show each step and check your answer by substituting back into the original equation.

Solving One-Step Addition & Subtraction Equations

This lesson demonstrates how to solve a one-step linear equation of the form x + a = b by applying the Subtraction Property of Equality. Students learn to isolate the variable by performing the same operation on both sides, then verify their solution by substituting back into the original equation.

In this lesson, you will learn to:
• Apply the Subtraction Property of Equality to isolate a variable in a one-step equation
• Simplify both sides of an equation after performing inverse operations
• Verify a solution by substituting it back into the original equation
• Communicate each algebraic step clearly and in the correct order
