Example Question #593 : Algebraic Concepts

Solve for y in the following equation:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve for y, we want y to stand alone.  

So, in the equation

we need to move the 8.  To move it, we need to cancel it.  Right now, y is being multiplied by 8.  To cancel, we need to divide by 8.

If we divide by 8 on the left side of the equal sign, we need to divide by 8 on the right side of the equal sign.  So, we get

Example Question #594 : Algebraic Concepts

 Solve for h in the following equation:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve for h, we want h to stand alone.

So, in the equation

We want to move the 6.  To move it, we need to cancel it.  Right now, h is being divided by 6.  To cancel, we need to multiply by 6.  If we multiply by 6 on the left side of the equal sign, we need to multiply by 6 on the right side of the equal sign.  So,
