because you undo the operation in the equation= to undo subtraction you add
Solving implies you are talking about an equation. Equations must have equal marks in them somewhere. If you mean y + 12 = -8then subtract 8 from both sides of the equation ( or if your teacher is really strict you will be told to add -12 to both sides of the equation, but the same thing happens)y + 12 - 12 = -8 - 12, then on the left and right simplify toy = -20This is called the subtraction property of equality (if you subtract 12) or the addition property of equality (if you add -12)
None. Properties of inequalities are not that relevant when solving equalities.
If: 3z = 0.45 Then: z = 0.15 by dividing both sides by 3
Simplifying an equation often helps solve it.
