Example Questions

Example Question #223 : Algebraic Equations

Solve:  \displaystyle -6 +x =75

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle -81

\displaystyle -68

\displaystyle 81

\displaystyle -\frac{25}{2}

\displaystyle 68

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 81

Explanation:

In order to solve the equation, we have to isolate the variable. We do this by performing the same operation to either side of the equation.

To isolate the unknown variable, add six on both sides.

\displaystyle -6 +x +6=75+6

\displaystyle x=81

Example Question #41 : One Step Equations With Integers

Solve: \displaystyle 13x = 1313

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 112

\displaystyle 110

\displaystyle 101

\displaystyle 1001

\displaystyle 111

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 101

Explanation:

In order to solve the equation, we have to isolate the variable. We do this by performing the same operation to either side of the equation.

To isolate \displaystyle x, divide both sides by 13.

\displaystyle \frac{13x}{13} = \frac{1313}{13}

\displaystyle x=101

Example Question #41 : One Step Equations

Solve:  

\displaystyle 10x = 6

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}

\displaystyle \frac{1}{16}

\displaystyle \frac{5}{3}

\displaystyle \frac{3}{5}

\displaystyle 4

Correct answer:

\displaystyle \frac{3}{5}

Explanation:

In order to solve the equation, we have to isolate the variable. We do this by performing the same operation to either side of the equation.

To solve this equation, divide both sides by ten.

\displaystyle \frac{10x}{10} = \frac{6}{10}

Once we divide, then factor the numerator to find any common factors that can cancel out. Since there is a two in the numerator and in the denominator, they cancel out and we are left with out final, simplified answer.

\displaystyle x=\frac{6}{10} = \frac{2\cdot 3}{2\cdot 5}=\frac{3}{5}

Example Question #42 : One Step Equations With Integers

Solve:  \displaystyle 12x = 1224

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 120

\displaystyle 12

\displaystyle 202

\displaystyle 112

\displaystyle 102

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 102

Explanation:

In order to solve the equation, we have to isolate the variable. We do this by performing the same operation to either side of the equation.

Divide both sides by twelve.

\displaystyle \frac{12}{12}x = \frac{1224}{12}

From here, factor the numerator to further simplify.

\displaystyle x=\frac{1224}{12}=\frac{12\cdot 102}{12}

The twelve in the numerator and the denominator cancel out and we arrive at the final solution.

\displaystyle x=102

Example Question #224 : Algebraic Equations

Solve: \displaystyle 3+x = 103

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 100

\displaystyle 103

\displaystyle 106

\displaystyle 33

\displaystyle 97

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 100

Explanation:

Subtract \displaystyle 3 from both sides of the equation.

\displaystyle 3+x-3 = 103-3

\displaystyle x=100

Example Question #225 : Algebraic Equations

Solve:  \displaystyle 7x = 91

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 13

\displaystyle 10

\displaystyle 11

\displaystyle 12

\displaystyle 14

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 13

Explanation:

Divide by seven on both sides of the equation.

\displaystyle \frac{7x}{7} =\frac{ 91}{7}

\displaystyle x=13

Example Question #45 : One Step Equations With Integers

Solve the equation:  

\displaystyle 2+x = 88

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 44

\displaystyle -86

\displaystyle -90

\displaystyle 86

\displaystyle 90

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 86

Explanation:

In order to solve the equation, we have to isolate the variable. We do this by performing the same operation to either side of the equation.

To solve for \displaystyle x. subtract two from both sides of the equation.

\displaystyle 2+x -2= 88-2

\displaystyle x=86

Example Question #41 : Evaluate Expressions: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.A.2c

Solve:  

\displaystyle 9x= 24

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle \frac{8}{3}

\displaystyle 13

\displaystyle \frac{1}{13}

\displaystyle \frac{3}{8}

\displaystyle 33

Correct answer:

\displaystyle \frac{8}{3}

Explanation:

In order to solve the equation, we have to isolate the variable. We do this by performing the same operation to either side of the equation.

Divide nine on both sides and reduce the fraction.

\displaystyle \frac{9x}{9}= \frac{24}{9}

From here, factor the numerator and denominator to find values that can cancel.

\displaystyle \frac{24}{9}=\frac{3\cdot 8}{3\cdot 3}

Since there is a three in both the numerator and denominator it reduces to one and we are left with the final answer of,

\displaystyle x=\frac{8}{3}.

Example Question #47 : One Step Equations With Integers

Solve:  \displaystyle x+19 = -19

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle -1

\displaystyle -38

\displaystyle 1

\displaystyle 0

\displaystyle 38

Correct answer:

\displaystyle -38

Explanation:

To solve for \displaystyle x, simply subtract 19 from both side of the equation to isolate \displaystyle x.

\displaystyle x+19 -19= -19-19

\displaystyle x=-38

Example Question #48 : One Step Equations With Integers

Solve for the unknown variable:  

\displaystyle 13x = 13013

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 1001

\displaystyle 110

\displaystyle 1010

\displaystyle 1011

\displaystyle 101

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 1001

Explanation:

In order to solve the equation, we have to isolate the variable. We do this by performing the same operation to either side of the equation.

Divide both sides by 13 to isolate the variable.

\displaystyle \frac{13x }{13}= \frac{13013}{13}

Now factor the numerator to find values that can cancel out.

\displaystyle \frac{13013}{13}=\frac{13\cdot 1001}{13}

The 13 in the numerator and denominator reduces to one and we are left with,

\displaystyle x=1001.
