Read each question carefully and solve for the unknown variable. Remember to keep both sides of the equation balanced.
1. Look at the image of the balance scale below. If one side has 5 blocks and the other side has 'x' blocks, and the scale is balanced, what is the value of 'x'?
2. To keep an equation balanced, whatever operation you perform on one side, you must also perform on the side.
3. The goal of solving an equation is to isolate the .
4. If 7 + x = 15, what is the value of x?
