Example Question #63 : How To Solve One Step Equations With Integers In Pre Algebra

Solve for  when 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve for , subtract  from each side of the equation:

Example Question #351 : High School Math

Solve for  if .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Divide each side of the equation by  to isolate x:

The s on the left side of the equation cancel to leave  by itself.

 

The answer is therefore .

Example Question #352 : 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  is being subtracted by a number, we must add the number to both sides of the equation.

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

The s cancel on the left side and leave  by itself.

Then we perform the necessary addition to get the answer of 

The answer is .

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

Solve for .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Perform the same operation on both sides of the equation.

It will be easier to write the right side of the equation as a fraction.

Now, we add two-fifths to both sides of the equation.

 

Example Question #2 : How To Solve One Step Equations With Fractions In Pre Algebra

 is % of what number? 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the number of which  is %, use this equation with % expressed as a fraction coefficient:

To solve this equation, multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the fraction on the left side, then reduce the result to simplest terms.

 

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

Solve the equation for .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Multiply both sides of the equation by .

We can check our answer by plugging it back into the equation.

We know that our answer works.

Example Question #3 : How To Solve One Step Equations With Fractions 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 of .

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 

To subtract fractions we must first ensure that we have the same denominator which is the bottom part of the fraction.

To do this we must find the least common multiple of the denominators.

The least common multiple is the smallest number that multiples of both of the denominators multiply to.

In this case the LCM is 

We then multiply the numerator and denominator of  by  to get the same denominator because anything divided by itself is one so the fractions maintain their same value as the numbers change into the format we need to determine the answer.

To multiply a fraction you multiply the top number of the first fraction by the top number of the second fraction and the bottom number of the first fraction by the bottom number of the second fraction so it would look like this 

After doing this we then subtract the first numerator (top part of the fraction) from the second numerator and place the result over the new denominator 

The final answer is
