You're welcome, Maria.

idunnot understandd it this way

because how did you get a 1-7?

You need to get the knowns on one side of the equation and the unknowns on the other side.

15 - 14 = 1

I subtracted 7 from both sides of the equation.

ok let me see what is my answer after that thank you

....wait how did you get 15-14 ?

I subtracted 14 from both sides of the equation.

understand it now thank you very much :)
