Question

1. $7 + b = 3$
2. $x + 6 = -10$

ing
er how you solve the equa
$y = 10$. then, write a ne
$10$ to the left side of the
e new equation. check t

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate $b$ by subtracting 7

$7 + b - 7 = 3 - 7$

Step2: Simplify to find $b$

$b = 3 - 7 = -4$
---

Step1: Isolate $x$ by subtracting 6

$x + 6 - 6 = -10 - 6$

Step2: Simplify to find $x$

$x = -10 - 6 = -16$

Answer:

For problem 11: $b = -4$
For problem 14: $x = -16$
