We want to get x by itself. Undo the addition using subtraction.
Check your answer: 5 + 7 = 12. Both sides match!
Undo operations in reverse order: addition first, then multiplication.
Check: 3(5) − 4 = 15 − 4 = 11. Correct!

Adjust the numbers and watch the line change.
The slope (m) controls how steep the line is. The intercept (b) moves it up or down.
A positive slope rises from left to right.
A little challenge is a great way to sharpen your skills.
