Possible Answers:

180

200

Correct answer:

180

Explanation:

In order to solve for , we need to isolate it on the left side of the equation. We will do this by performing the same operations to both sides of the given equation:

$\frac{x}{-12}=-15$

Multiply both sides of the equation by .

$(-12)\frac{x}{-12}=-15(-12)$

Example Question #246 : Algebra 1

Solve the equation for :

y+4=x-2

Possible Answers:

y=x+2

y=x-6

x=y+6

x=y-6

Correct answer:

y=x-6

Explanation:

To solve this question you need to get by itself. To do this you must bring the over by doing the opposite of addition which is subtraction.

So, y+4-4=x-2-4

which simplifies to: y=x-6

Example Question #247 : Algebra 1

Solve the following equation for :

x+5=13

Possible Answers:

No solution

x=8

x=18

x=-18

x=-8

Correct answer:

x=8

Explanation:

In order to solve for , we need to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation. For our problem, is being added to , so the variable is not by itself. However, we are able to subtract from both sides of the equation and still keep it balanced. Hence, our answer is x=8 .

Example Question #249 : Algebra 1

Solve for : x-6=9 .

Possible Answers:

$-\frac{3}{2}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve for in the above equation, we must isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by applying an operation to that is the inverse (opposite) of what's currently being applied to .

Given x-6=9 , we see that is being subtracted from , so we need to add to both sides of the equation to isolate :

x-6=9

x-6+6=9+6

x=15

Example Question #250 : Algebra 1

Solve for : x+2=10 .

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{5}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Given x+2=10 , we see that is being added to , so we need to subtract from both sides of the equation to isolate :

x+2=10

x+2-2=10-2

x=8
