Example Question #142 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)
Solve for :
In order to solve for , move to one side of the equation and everything else to the other. To do this, subtract from both sides.
Example Question #142 : Algebra
Simplify:
The first step is to apply the distributive property. Don't forget to distribute the negative in the second parenthesis!
Next, combine the variables and the numbers. This gives us:
Example Question #5 : How To Subtract Variables

Example Question #3 : Expressions & Equations
Simplify:
This problem is just a matter of grouping together like terms. Remember that terms like are treated as though they were their own, different variable:
The only part that might be a little hard is:
If you are confused, think of your number line. This is like "going back" (more negative) from 15. Therefore, you ranswer will be:
Example Question #144 : Algebra
Simplify:
This problem really is a trick question. There are no common terms among any of the parts of the expression to be simplified. In each case, you have an independent variable or set of variables: and . Therefore, do not combine any of the elements!
Example Question #2 : How To Subtract Variables
Simplify:
Remember, when there is a subtraction outside of a group, you should add the opposite of each member. That is:
That is a bit confusing, so let's simplify. When you add a negative, you subtract:
Now, group your like variables:
Finally, perform the subtractions and get:
