Solve for
Subtract both sides by .
Example Question #29 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Solve for .
Subtract both sides by .
Next, we divide both sides by . The left side will have two negatives cancel out to be a positive .
Example Question #30 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Solve for .
Add both sides by .
Example Question #31 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Solve for .
Add both sides by .
Since the left side is negative, we can divide both sides by . The left side will have two negatives cancel out to be a positive . .
Example Question #32 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Add both sides by . To determine the answer, let's compare values by ignoring signs. is greater than and that value is negative, so our answer is negative. We do subtraction to find the answer which is Since we want a negative answer, the final answer becomes
Example Question #33 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Solve for .
Subtract both sides by . We add the values up and put a negative sign in front it. We get .
Since the left side is negative and right side is negative, we can divide both sides by . The left side will have two negatives cancel out to be a positive while the same occurs on the right side.
Example Question #34 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Divide both sides by . Both decimals each have one decimal place so the expression becomes: . When dividing negative values, we count the number of negative values. Since there's one, the answer is negative.
Example Question #35 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Solve for .
Multiply both sides by . When multiplying decimals, first multiply normally and then count the number of decimal places in the problem. We have . So starting from the right, we shift three place to the left to get a decimal of .
Example Question #36 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Solve for :
Divide both sides by
Example Question #31 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Solve the equation for x. Give your answer to three decimal places.
Solve by isolating x on one side of the equation and collecting the decimal terms without variables on the other.
