12 − x = −8
12 = −x + 8
12 − x = 8
12 = −x − 8
12 = -x + 8
explain
Tillie is solving the equation for x. Her first step is to subtract 8 from both sides of the equation. This means that she is subtracting 8 from the right side and from the left side of the equation.
The equation she is solving is 12 = -x + 8. By subtracting 8 from both sides, she is simplifying the equation to 12 - 8 = -x.
