Example Question #365 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation
Solve for the equation when ,
.
The first step is to plug in your value so your equation looks like,
.
Then you multiply to get .
Then you add to get your final answer .
Example Question #366 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation
Solve for x in the following:
To solve for x, we want x to stand alone or be by itself. So,
we want to get x to be by itself. To do that, we need to move the . To move it, we need to cancel it out. To cancel it out, we must (add 8). If we add 8 on the left side of the equal sign, we must add 8 on the right side of the equal sign. So,
Example Question #2691 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
Solve for x in the following equation:
To solve for x, we want to get x to stand alone or to be by itself.
So, in the equation
we want x to be alone. To do that, we need to cancel out the . The is being divided, so to cancel it out, we must multiply by . If we multiply by on the left side of the equation, we must multiply by on the right side of the equation. So,
Example Question #2692 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
Solve for g, when h is equal to 6.
Solve for g, when h is equal to 6.
Let's begin by plugging in 6 for h
If you are really observant, you might be able to see the answer already, but let's keep going:
We can say the following about the right hand of the equation.
So, we can rewrite the original as:
Therefore, without any further algebra, we can say that g=6. We know this, because they have the same exponent and no other terms to change either side.
So, our answer is 6
Example Question #2693 : 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 be by itself. In the equation
to solve for x, we need to move the . To move the , we need to cancel it out. The and the x are multiplied together. To cancel multiplication, we will divide. In this case, we will divide by .
If we divide by on the left side of the equal sign, we need to divide by on the right side of the equation as well. So,
Example Question #2694 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
Solve for :
To solve for the variable, perform the opposite operations to manipulate the equation so that the variable is isolated on one side of the equation and all other constants are on the other side of the equation.
First subtract five from each side. Recall that when a negative number is subtracted the negative signs cancel and it becomes addition.
Next, divide by negative one third. Recall that dividing by a fraction is the same of multiplying by its reciprocal.
Example Question #2695 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
Solve for :
To solve for the variable, perform opposite operations to manipulate the equation so that the variable is isolated on one side of the equation and all other constants are on the other side.
Subtract a negative 0.7 from both sides which is the same as adding 0.7.
Now, divide by negative four on each side.
Example Question #2696 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
Solve for x in the following equation:
To solve for x, we need to get x to stand alone or be by itself.
In the equation
we want x to stand alone. So we need to move the . The x is being divided by the . To cancel out division, we need to multiply. So we will multiply by . If we multiply by on the left side, we have to multiply by on the right side. So,
Example Question #2697 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
Solve for a in the following equation:
To solve for a, we want a to stand by itself. In the equation
we need to move the 4 away from a. To move it, we need to cancel it out. Right now, the 4 is being multiplied by a. To cancel out multiplication, we need to divide.
So, we will divide by 4. If we divide by 4 on the left side of the equal sign, we need to divide by 4 on the right side of the equal sign. So,
Example Question #2698 : 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.
So, in the equation
we need to move the 5 away from the x. To move it, we need to cancel it out.
Right now, the 5 is being multiplied by the x. To cancel out multiplication, we will divide.
If we divide by 5 on the left side of the equal sign, we need to divide by 5 on the right side of the equal sign. We get
