Solve the following equation for :

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve this one-step algebraic equation, we use opposite operations. The variable  in this equation is being added to the number 5. The opposite operation to addition is subtraction; therefore, we subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

Example Question #41 : How To Solve One Step Equations With Integers In Pre Algebra

.

Solve for .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We want to isolate . That means we need to get just on the left side of the equation.

Divide both sides by .

Example Question #181 : Pre Algebra

Solve for  when 

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 .
