4. Learn to solve whole-number subtraction equations.

5. When Theodore Roosevelt became president of the United States, he was 42 years old. He was 27 years younger than Ronald Reagan was when Reagan became president. How old was Reagan when he became president?

6. = = – – Let a represent Ronald Reagan’s age. Ronald Reagan’s age 27
Theodore Roosevelt’s age – = – = a 27 42
a – 27 = 42
+ 27
+ 27
a = 69
Ronald Reagan was 69 years old when he became president.

7. Additional Example 1A: Solving Subtraction Equations
Solve y – 23 = 39. Check your answer.
y – 23 = 39
23 is subtracted from y.
+ 23
+ 23
Add 23 to both sides to undo the subtraction.
y = 62
Check y – 23 = 39
62 – 23 = 39 ?
Substitute 62 for y in the equation.
39 = 39 ? 
62 is the solution.

8. Additional Example 1B: Solving Subtraction Equations
Solve 78 = s – 15. Check your answer.
78 = s – 15
15 is subtracted from s.
+ 15
+ 15
Add 15 to both sides to undo the subtraction.
93 = s
Check 78 = s – 15
78 = 93 – 15 ?
Substitute 93 for s in the equation.
78 = 78 ? 
93 is the solution.

9. Additional Example 1C: Solving Subtraction Equations
Solve z – 3 = 12. Check your answer.
z – 3 = 12
3 is subtracted from z.
+ 3
+ 3
Add 3 to both sides to undo the subtraction.
z = 15
Check z – 3 = 12
15 – 3 = 12 ?
Substitute 15 for z in the equation.
12 = 12 ? 
15 is the solution.

10. Solve a – 4 = 7. Check your answer.
Check It Out: Example 1A
Solve a – 4 = 7. Check your answer.
a – 4 = 7
4 is subtracted from a.
+ 4
+ 4
Add 4 to both sides to undo the subtraction.
a = 11
Check a – 4 = 7
11 – 4 = 7 ?
Substitute 11 for a in the equation.
7 = 7 ? 
11 is the solution.

11. Solve 57 = c – 13. Check your answer.
Check It Out: Example 1B
Solve 57 = c – 13. Check your answer.
57 = c – 13
13 is subtracted from c.
+ 13
+ 13
Add 13 to both sides to undo the subtraction.
70 = c
Check 57 = c – 13
57 = 70 – 13 ?
Substitute 70 for c in the equation.
57 = 57 ? 
70 is the solution.

12. Solve g – 62 = 14. Check your answer.
Check It Out: Example 1C
Solve g – 62 = 14. Check your answer.
g – 62 = 14
62 is subtracted from g.
+ 62
+ 62
Add 62 to both sides to undo the subtraction.
g = 76
Check g – 62 = 14
76 – 62 = 14 ?
Substitute 76 for g in the equation.
14 = 14 ? 
76 is the solution.
