Example Question #265 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation
What is the value of the expression ?
Below are the steps for solving the expression:
First, parentheses are solved for.
Next, we take the square of 2, and can also solve for 25 divided by 5.
The -4 and +4 cancel each other out, leaving
This reduces to 2, the correct answer.
Example Question #2 : How To Solve One Step Equations
Alegra is taking a cooking class with friends. It is 40 dollars for every two people who participate because people are supposed to work in pairs. But if someone does not have a partner, that person can still participate but must pay $30 for him or herself. Alegra's four best friends participate in the class with her, and they divide the cost evenly. What is the total cost per person?
22 dollars
30 dollars
60 dollars
20 dollars
22 dollars
Since Alegra is taking the class with 4 friends, that means there are a total of 5 people. This means that there are 2 pairs of friends, and one alone friend.
Below are the prices that will be charged based on this make up:
2 pairs of people at 40 dollars per pair = 80 dollars
1 solo person at 30 dollars per person = 30 dollars
80 dollars plus 30 dollars is 110 dollars, the grand total.
When 110 dollars is divided by 5, the answer is 22. Therefore, 22 dollars is the correct answer.
Example Question #266 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation
Solve for .
To solve, we will need to isolate . Begin by cross-multiplying:
Divide both sides by 9.
The fraction cannot be reduced, making it our final answer.
Example Question #2 : How To Solve Two Step Equations
On average, 1 in 50 apples that grow in an orchard will not be harvested. Of those, half will rot on the ground. If 500 apples are growing in an orchard, how many will rot on the ground?
If there are 500 apples and 1 in 50 will remain unharvested, then we can find the number of unharvested apples by multiplying.
10 apples will remain unharvested. Of those, half will rot on the ground. Multiply to find how many apples rot on the ground.
5 apples will rot on the ground.
Example Question #267 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation
Solve for :
None of these
Start by evaluating the right side of the equation using order of operations.
Divdie both side by 3 to solve for the variable.
The fraction acnnot be simplified.
