Example Questions

Example Question #721 : Algebra 1

Solve for

$\frac{a}{15}-21=-15$

Possible Answers:

115

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve for , you first must get it by itself on one side of the equal sign using opposite operations. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other. In the case of:

$\frac{a}{15}-21=-15$

You first must add to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{a}{15}-21+21=-15+21$

Giving you,

$\frac{a}{15}=6$

Next, multiply both sides of the equation by ,

$\frac{a}{15}\times15=6\times15$

Solve.

a=90

Example Question #722 : Algebra 1

Solve for .

5x-24=66

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve for , you first must get it by itself on one side of the equal sign using opposite operations. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other. In the case of:

5x-24=66

You first must add to both sides of the equation.

5x-24+24=66+24

Giving you,

5x=90

Then you divide each side of the equation by .

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{90}{5}$

Solve.

x=18

Example Question #723 : Algebra 1

Solve for .

14x+14=210

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve for , you first must get it by itself on one side of the equal sign using opposite operations. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other. In the case of:

14x+14=210

You must first subrtract from both sides of the equation.

14x+14-14=210-14

Giving you,

14x=196

Now, divide each side of the equation by .

$\frac{14x}{14}=\frac{196}{14}$

Solve.

x=14

Example Question #724 : Algebra 1

Solve for .

12x+7=67

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve for , you first must get it by itself on one side of the equal sign using opposite operations. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other. In the case of:

12x+7=67

You first must subtract from both sides of the equation.

12x+7-7=67-7

Giving you,

12x=60

Now, divide each side of the equation by .

$\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{60}{12}$

Solve.

x=5

Example Question #191 : How To Solve Two Step Equations

Solve for .

9b-37=62

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve for , you first must get it by itself on one side of the equal sign using opposite operations. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other. In the case of:

9b-37=62

You first must add to both sides of the equation.

9b-37+37=62+37

Giving you,

9b=99

Next, divide each side of the equation by 9.

$\frac{9b}{9}=\frac{99}{9}$

Solve.

b=11

Example Question #726 : Algebra 1

Solve for .

$\frac{3}{4}b+17=62$

Possible Answers:

100

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve for , you first must get it by itself on one side of the equal sign using opposite operations. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other. In the case of:

$\frac{3}{4}b+17=62$

You first must subtract from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{3}{4}b+17-17=62-17$

Giving you,

$\frac{3}{4}b=45$

Now, divide each side of teh equation by $\frac{3}{4}$ .

$\frac{3}{4}b\div \frac{3}{4}=45\div \frac{3}{4}$

Remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. Rewrite.

$\frac{3}{4}b\times \frac{4}{3}=45\times \frac{4}{3}$

Solve.

b=60

Solve for .

$\frac{a}{13}-57=-41$

Possible Answers:

230

208

156

265

Correct answer:

208

Explanation:

In order to solve for , you first must get it by itself on one side of the equal sign using opposite operations. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other. In the case of:

$\frac{a}{13}-57=-41$

You first must add to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{a}{13}-57+57=-41+57$

Giving you,

$\frac{a}{13}=16$

Now, multiply each side of the equation by .

$\frac{a}{13}\times13=16\times13$

Solve.

a=208

Solve for .

$\frac{b}{25}+47=76$

Possible Answers:

1025

650

875

475

725

Correct answer:

725

Explanation:

In order to solve for , you first must get it by itself on one side of the equal sign using opposite operations. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other. In the case of:

$\frac{b}{25}+47=76$

You first must subtract from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{b}{25}+47-47=76-47$

Giving you,

$\frac{b}{25}=29$

Now, mulitiply each side of the equation by .

$\frac{b}{25}\times25=29\times25$

Solve.

b=725

Example Question #731 : Linear Equations

Solve for .

34=-1+7x

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve for , you first must get it by itself on one side of the equal sign using opposite operations. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other. In the case of:

34=-1+7x

You must first add to both sides of the equation.

34+1=-1+1+7x

Giving you,

35=7x

Now, divide each side of the equation by .

$\frac{35}{7}=\frac{7x}{7}$

Solve.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve for , you first must get it by itself on one side of the equal sign using opposite operations. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other. In the case of:

41=3y+11

You must first subtract from both sides of the equation.

41-11=3y+11-11

Giving you,

30=3y
