x - 20

$20 \div x$

20 - x

Correct answer:

$x \div 20$

Example Question #21 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

Max and Sarah both drove at the same speed. It took Max 36 minutes to drive 3 miles. How many minutes did it take for Sarah to drive 6 miles?

Possible Answers:

108

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Since it took Max 36 minutes to drive 3 miles, it must take double the amount of time to drive 6 miles since they're both driving at the same speed. Thus, 72 is the correct answer.

Example Question #23 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

Martin's family bought him 3 presents for his birthday. The mean cost of a present was $25. If the first present cost $20 and the second present cost $30, how much did the third present cost (in dollars)?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The mean of a set is equal to the sum of the numbers divided by the number of items in the set.

Set up and equation and solve for the missing present:

$mean=25=\frac{20+30+x}{3}$

$25=\frac{50+x}{3}$

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3:

75=50+x

Subtract 50 from both sides:

x=25

Example Question #23 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

4 puppies from a litter are adopted, and $\frac{1}{3}$ are not adopted. How many puppies are in the litter?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If $\frac{1}{3}$ are not adopted, then $\frac{2}{3}$ are adopted. We also know that the number of adopted puppies is 4.

Set up a proportion and solve:

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

2x=12

x=6

Therefore, there are 6 puppies total in the litter.

What is the value of in the equation below?

x-4.65=7.23

Possible Answers:

11.78

11.88

1.88

11.98

Correct answer:

11.88

Explanation:

In order to solve for in x-4.65=7.23 , add 4.65 to each side of the equation.

This results in:

x=7.23+4.65

x=11.88
