This math topic focuses on solving linear equations where students are required to find the correct number to complete an equation. Specifically, the equations involve either adding or subtracting one term to find the value that satisfies an equality. This is an introductory level of algebra, providing basic practice in manipulating simple equations to isolate and solve for a variable, which is symbolically represented by a circle in the problems. The exercises are structured to encourage understanding and proficiency in basic algebraic concepts through repeated application of addition and subtraction operations within equations.
