Read each question carefully and solve for the variable. Show your work.

1. Solve for x: x + 7 = 15

2. Solve for y: y - 12 = 8

3. Solve for a: 10 + a = 23

4. Solve for b: 4b = 28

5. Solve for c: c / 5 = 9

6. Solve for d: 36 = 6d

7. In the equation x + 5 = 12, the variable is .

8. To isolate a variable, you need to perform the operation.

9. If you add a number to one side of an equation, you must the same number to the other side.

Match each equation on the left with its correct solution on the right.

10. x + 3 = 10

a. x = 2

11. 2x = 14

b. x = 7

12. x - 5 = 1

c. x = 6

13. x / 4 = 2

d. x = 8
