Question 6 (5 points)
Solve for the variable x in the equation x + 15 = 62.

x = 47

Step-by-step explanation: When you're asked to solve for x in an equation, what you're really being asked to do is get x by itself on one side of the equation.

In this problem since 15 is being added to x, in order to get x by itself,

we must subtract 15 from the left side of the equation.

If we subtract 15 from the left side, we must also subtract 15 from

the right side of the equation to keep the equation balanced.

So we have x = 47.
