To isolate , divide both sides by 13.

Example Question #41 : One Step Equations

Solve:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve the equation, we have to isolate the variable. We do this by performing the same operation to either side of the equation.

To solve this equation, divide both sides by ten.

Once we divide, then factor the numerator to find any common factors that can cancel out. Since there is a two in the numerator and in the denominator, they cancel out and we are left with out final, simplified answer.

Example Question #224 : Algebraic Equations

Solve:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve the equation, we have to isolate the variable. We do this by performing the same operation to either side of the equation.

Divide both sides by twelve.

From here, factor the numerator to further simplify.

The twelve in the numerator and the denominator cancel out and we arrive at the final solution.
