Example Question #3 : Single Variable Algebra
Sam currently has five ducks. He will receive 3 new ducks every two months. How many individual ducks must he have after 7 months?
Sam starts out with five ducks. He receives 3 ducks after every two months.
where 
After the first 2 months, he will have 8 ducks.
After the next 2 months, he will have 11 ducks.
After the next 2 months, he will then have 14 ducks.
However, Sam will not receive 3 ducks until the 8th month. This means that he will only have 14 ducks in possession by the 7th month.
The answer is:
Example Question #1 : Single Variable Algebra
Solve for 
Add 9 to each side of the equation.
Multiply each side of the equation by 4.
Example Question #1 : Solving Equations
Solve for 
To isolate 
Next, 5 must be subtracted fromm both sides.
Finally, 2 must be divided out of each side.
Thus, this is our answer.
Example Question #2 : Solving Equations
Solve for 
To solve this equation in terms of y, we must isolate it. We start by moving those terms, that do not involve y, to the right hand side. Thus, we add 6 to both sides.
Next, since there are no other terms on the left hand side that do not include y, we must factor a y out of them.
Now, we can divide to isolate y.
Example Question #3 : Solving Equations
Solve for the unknown variable:
To solve 
Example Question #11 : Single Variable Algebra
