First, solve the side of the equation with NO question mark.
9 - ? = 6
Now instead of subtracting ?, subtract 6 from both sides
9 - 6 = 6 - 6
9 - 6 = ?
If you know 9-6 is 3, then you know ? = 3.
Same idea with the next one.
7 = 4 +?
7 - 4 = ?
? = 3
first switch the question marks to x
#1if you have 9-n=2+4 then u first add 2+4 which is 6. so then you're left with 9-n=6 then u subtract each side by 9 so you have 6-9(which equals -3). -3=-n then divide by negative one and you're left with 3=n
#2 15-8=4+n first do 15-8 which is 7 so you're left with 7=4+n then subtract four from both sides and you have 3=n.
That help you out at all ?
