Given the numerical equation:
16 = 9 + x
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, we simply need to transpose 9 on the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
16 = 9 + x
x = 16 - 9
x = 7
Check:
9 + 7 = 16
16 = 16
Final answer
x = 7
