Example Question #31 : One Step Equations With Integers

Solve for .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Add 2x to each side to get all variables on one side: 

Example Question #32 : One Step Equations With Integers

Solve for .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To isolate the variable "s" from the expression 32s, divide both sides of the equation by 32. 128/32=4, so s=4

Solve for .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Add 3625 to each side to isolate y. This gives you the answer 5024

Example Question #34 : One Step Equations With Integers

Solve:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve for , multiply ten on both sides of the equation to eliminate the denominator.

Example Question #35 : One Step Equations With Integers

solve for

Possible Answers:

None of the other answers.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve for x you simply isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, apply the opposite operations to manipulate the equation.

Subtract 15 from both sides:

The red terms canceled.

We just subtract as normal on the right side.

Example Question #36 : One Step Equations With Integers

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 eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides by eight to cancel the denominator.

Example Question #38 : Evaluate Expressions: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.A.2c

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 negative two.

Simplify.  A double negative will eliminate each other when dividing.
