1) Explain the Addition Property of Equality in your own words.

2) Explain the Subtraction Property of Equality in your own words.

Solve each equation:

3) x + 2 = 10

4) b – 12 = 14

5) 5 = x – 3

6) c + 9 = 29

7) 47 = v + 15

8) 13 + y = 65

9) w + 3 = -10

10) -5 + x = -10

11) -23 = x – 11

12) r – 316 = -8

13) x – 25,000 = 36,250

14) -82 = x – 82

15) n – 10 + (-5) = -20

16) u + (-5) = 12

17) -22 + n + 30 = -29 + 9
