Example Questions

Example Question #1751 : Hspt Mathematics

Solve: 9-x=2x-9

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Start by separating the terms and the constants on different sides of the equal sign.

Add to both sides of the equation to move the integers to the left side of the equal sign, and add on both sides of the equation to move the terms on the right side of the equation.

Combine like-terms and simplify.

9-x +(9)+(x)=2x-9 +(9)+(x)

18=3x

Divide by on both sides.

x=6

Example Question #1752 : Hspt Mathematics

Solve: 2a-10=10

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve this equation, we must isolate the unknown variable. First add 10 on both sides.

2a-10+(10)=10+(10)

2a=20

Divide by two on both sides of the equation.

a=1 0

Example Question #1753 : Hspt Mathematics

Evaluate: -4 - x = 10

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To isolate the unknown variable, add the unknown variable on both sides.

-4 - x +(x)= 10+(x)

-4=10+x

Substract ten from both sides.

x=-4-10 = -14

Example Question #1754 : Hspt Mathematics

Solve for : 5x=x

Possible Answers:

x=4

x=0

x=1

$x=\frac{1}{5}$

$x=\frac{1}{4}$

Correct answer:

x=0

Explanation:

Group and isolate the terms. Subtract from both sides of the equation.

5x-(x)=x-(x)

4x=0

Divide by four on both sides of the equation.

x=0

Example Question #1755 : Hspt Mathematics

Solve: $-\frac{6}{x}+1 = 5$

Possible Answers:

$-\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

Correct answer:

$-\frac{3}{2}$

Explanation:

To isolate the variable, first subtract one from both sides of the equation.

$-\frac{6}{x}+1 -(1)= 5-(1)$

$-\frac{6}{x} = 4$

Multiply by negative on both sides of the equation.

6=-4x

Divide by four on both sides of the equation and reduce.

$x=-\frac{6}{4}=-\frac{3}{2}$

Example Question #1756 : Hspt Mathematics

Solve: -6x+7 = -11

Possible Answers:

$-\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{11}{42}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The goal is to isolate the unknown variable.

Subtract from both sides of the equation.

-6x+7 -(7)= -11-(7)

-6x = -18

Divide by on both sides.

$x=\frac{-18}{-6} = 3$

Example Question #1757 : Hspt Mathematics

Evaluate: $-\frac{2}{z} =-8$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{16}$

$\frac{1}{10}$

$\frac{1}{4}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{4}$

Explanation:

To solve this problem, isolate the variable.

Multiply by on both sides of the equation to eliminate the fraction and negative sign.

$-\frac{2}{z} \times (-z)=-8\times( -z)$

2=8z

Divide both sides by .

$z=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$

Example Question #1758 : Hspt Mathematics

Solve the following equation: 3x-3 = 18

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to isolate the unknown variable, first add three from both sides of the equation to move the negative three to the right side of the equation.

3x-3 +(3)= 18+(3)

Simplify the left and right sides.

3x=21

Divide by three on both sides.

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{21}{3}$

Simplify the left and right sides.

x=7

Example Question #1754 : Hspt Mathematics

Solve the following for :

3x-4=11

Possible Answers:

$\frac{7}{3}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve for a particular variable, you must isolate the variable on one side of the equation and all other constants on the other side. To do this, perform the opposite operation to manipulate the equation.

To solve, you must isolate x by first adding 4 to both sides adn then dividing by 3.

Thus,

$3x-4+4=11+4\Rightarrow 3x=15\Rightarrow \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{15}{3}\Rightarrow x=5$

Example Question #33 : Expressions & Equations

Define an operation $\bigstar$ on the set of real numbers as follows:

$a \bigstar b = a^{2}+ b$

If $6 \bigstar b = 100$ , then what is ?

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt{94}$

$\sqrt{106}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

$a \bigstar b = a^{2}+ b$ ,

$6 \bigstar b = 6 ^{2} + b = 36 + b$ .

$6 \bigstar b = 100$

then

36 + b= 100

36+ b - 36 = 100 - 36

b = 64
