Question

Help plz what is the value of x

Answer 1

Subtract

x=12

Explanation:

To solve equations, we have to get x by itself. To do this, we must preform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind, everything must be done to both sides of the equation.

x+15=27

15 is being added onto x. The opposite of addition is subtraction. Therefore, we must subtract 15 from both sides

x+15-15=27-15

x=27-15

x=12

Answer 2

Subtract; x = 12

Explanation:

x + 15 = 27

x + 15 -15 = 27 -15 (Subtraction Property of Equality)

x = 12
