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 .
