°° Let's see -
First, you want to rewrite the equation:
x + 67 = 83
Let's do the 1 lonely step -
Subtract 67 from both sides of the = sign.
x + 67 - 67 = 83 - 67
Now, as you can see, our unknown 'x' equals 16
x = 16
______________________________________________________
Want to check your answer?
Just substitute the 16 for the x and then solve.
16 + 67 = 83
We were correct!

Sample Example:
x + 48 = 92
Do our 1 lonely step: Subtract 48 from both sides.
x + 48 - 48 = 92 - 48.
x = 44
Check:
Switch the 'x' with the 44!
44 + 48 = 92!
TADA! We're done! Hope you enjoyed reading this!
