Example Question #1 : Word Problems
Mark is three times as old as his son Brian. In ten years, Mark will be years old. In how many years will Mark be twice as old as Brian?
In ten years, Mark will be years old, so Mark is years old now, and Brian is one-third of this, or years old.
Let be the number of years in which Mark will be twice Brian's age. Then Brian will be , and Mark will be . Since Mark will be twice Brian's age, we can set up and solve the equation:
Mark will be twice Brian's age in years.
Example Question #2 : Solve Word Problems Leading To Equations: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Ee.B.4a
Gary is twice as old as his niece Candy. How old will Candy will be in five years when Gary is years old?
Not enough information is given to determine the answer.
Since Gary will be 37 in five years, he is years old now. He is twice as old as Cathy, so she is years old, and in five years, she will be years old.
Example Question #565 : Algebraic Concepts
Solve for b when f is equal to 0
No real solutions
No real solutions
Solve for b when f is equal to 0
Let's start by plugging in 0 for f
Now, we cannot go any further, because we cannot divide by zero.
This means that there is no value of b for which f will equal zero.
This means we have no real solutions.
Example Question #362 : Equations
Solve the following equation for u when y is equal to 6.
Solve the following equation for u when y is equal to 6.
To begin, let's plug in 6 for y.
Next, bring the u over to the other side by multiplying both sides by u
Finally, divide both sides by 12 to see what u is
So we get u=2 as our answer.
Example Question #2682 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
Solve for x in the following equation:
To solve for x, we want x to stand alone or to be by itself. So in the equation
we want x to stand alone. To do that, we need to cancel the that is next to it. The is being multiplied to x, so to cancel it out, we will need to divide by . If we divide by on the left side of the equal sign, we have to divide by on the right side of the equal sign. So,
Now, we simplify.
Example Question #364 : Equations
Evaluate .
To evaluate, substitute -40 in for A.
Add 40 to each side to isolate and solve for B.
