Example Question #124 : Algebra
Rearrange the following equation so that it is solved for "b"
Rearrange the following equation so that it is solved for "b"
This problem may look intimidating, but don't be overwhelmed! Read the problem carefully, all we need to do is get the b all by itself.
To do this, let's first multiply both sides by 4x.
Next, we simply need to divide both sides by 3 to get the b all by itself.
One last thing, we can simplify the denominator and get rid of our three by dividing a three out of the 12 and the 6.
This yields:
Example Question #681 : Ged Math
Solve for x
Starting with
We must get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides by (2x-1)
The terms cancel on the right, and we must distribute on the left
Simplify
Subtract x from both sides to get the variables all on one side
combine like terms
Now add 3 to both sides to get the term with the variable by itself
Simplify
And finally, divide both side by 5 to get the variable all by itself
Example Question #681 : Ged Math
Solve:
Subtract the 8 from the left and add (subtract) from the right:
Simplify:
Divide by 10:
Simplify:
Example Question #82 : Solving For The Variable
Solve:
Step 1: Move the constant from the left to the right:
Step 2: Simplify:
Step 3: Divide by the coefficient on the left hand side to both sides of the equation:
Simplify:
Step 4: Take the square root of both sides:
Simplify:
