Example Question #509 : Algebra
Solve:
In order to isolate the variable, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient in front of the variable.
Simplify both sides.
The answer is :
Example Question #1121 : Concepts
Solve the following for :
To solve for , simply divide both sides by 2 to isolate .
Remember, division undoes multiplication.
Thus,
Example Question #1122 : Concepts
Solve for :
To solve for x, simply add 6 to both sides.
Thus,
Example Question #512 : Algebra
Solve for :
In order to get by itself, you must get rid of the .
To undue a negative, you must add its opposite (add ) but you must do it to both sides of the equation.
Theat leaves you with which is you answer.
Example Question #1123 : Concepts
The first step is to isolate the variable. In order to isolate the variable in this equation, add to both sides of the equation:
Example Question #1124 : Concepts
To solve this one-step equation, isolate the variable, In this equation, add 45 to both sides of the equation:
Example Question #1125 : Concepts
First change the fractions to decimals:
Simplify:
Isolate the variable and solve:
Example Question #1126 : Concepts
First simplify:
Isolate the variable by dividing (the inverse operation of multiplication), both sides by the coefficient of the variable, which in this equation is 8.
Example Question #517 : Algebra
Recall that subtraction of a negative value is the same as adding a positive number.
Therefore, rewrite the equation:
Isolate the variable by subtracting the 12.2 from both sides.
Example Question #1127 : Concepts
To solve this one step equation, isolate the variable:
In this particular case add 27 to both sides.
Then solve:
