from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.

1) 2/5

2) zero=0/1

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x
