Example Questions

Example Question #1 : How To Solve One Step Equations With Integers In Pre Algebra

Solve for

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remembering the final goal is to get the  alone on one side of the equation.

To get rid of the , we perform the opposite operation. We add  to each side of the equation, cancelling out the  on the left side.

This brings the equation to

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If  you put  in for . Therefore it becomes .

 

Finally,

Example Question #5 : How To Solve One Step Equations With Integers In Pre Algebra

Simplify:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First you multiply the coefficients .

Then you multiply According to the laws of exponents, when you multiply two numbers with similar bases (both  in this case) then you simply add the exponents .

Therefore, the final answer is 

Example Question #291 : High School Math

Solve for  if  

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve for  we must get all of the numbers on the other side of the equation as .

To do this in a problem where a number is being added to , we must subtract the number from both sides of the equation.

In this case the number is  so we subtract  from each side of the equation to make it look like this 

The 's on the left side cancel to get 

Then we perform the necessary subtraction to get the answer of  .

Example Question #11 : How To Solve One Step Equations With Integers In Pre Algebra

Solve for  if

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve for  we must get all of the numbers on the other side of the equation as .

To do this in a problem where  is being divided by a number, we must multiply both sides of the equation by the number.

In this case the number is  so we multiply each side of the equation by  to make it look like this

 

The 's on the left side cancel so we only have .

Then we perform the necessary multiplication to get the answer of .

Example Question #14 : How To Solve One Step Equations With Integers In Pre Algebra

Solve for  if 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve for  we must get all of the numbers on the other side of the equation as .

To do this in a problem where  is being multiplied by a number, we must divide both sides of the equation by the number.

In this case the number is  so we divide each side of the equation by  to make it look like this 

The 's cancel to leave  by itself.

Then we perform the necessary division to get the answer of .

Example Question #11 : How To Solve One Step Equations With Integers In Pre Algebra

Solve for .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve, you want to isolate the  on one side.

To get ride of the , you add  to both sides.

Then you divide by  on both sides.
