Stuck? Post the exact step where it breaks and I will walk you through it. That is what this is for.

in school I kept adding 5 instead of subtracting it. why is undoing so hard for my brain
@algebrajonah6h
Because we read left to right. Trick: undo in the reverse order of operations, so plus/minus first.

My daughter watched this twice and finally got it. Clearer than her textbook.

disagree with skipping the number line for beginners tbh, some kids really need it
@algebrajonah3h
Fair, I have a number-line version pinned on my profile for exactly that.
