solving a one step equation with a missing variable
step 1: subtract 3 from both sides of the equation then simplify
ex: n + 3 - 3 = -7 - 3 (n = -10)
step 2: take your answer of n which is -10 and add plug it in into your original equation n + 3 = -7 and solve to check your answer
ex: n + 3 = -7 (-10 + 3 = -7)
add
-10 + 3 = -7
-7 = -7 (if both sides of the equation are the same numbers like -7 = -7 then your answer is true making n = -10 your answer) i would love to get brain if this is correct and helps <(^w^)>
