Example Questions

Example Question #31 : How To Solve One Step Equations

Solve for $\displaystyle z$.

z-0=-9 $\displaystyle z-0=-9$

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle -9$

$\displaystyle 9$

$\displaystyle 3$

$\displaystyle 1$

$\displaystyle 0$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle -9$

Explanation:

To isolate $\displaystyle z$, we know anything added or subtracted by $\displaystyle 0$ is the same.

This is the case. Answer is z=-9 $\displaystyle z=-9$.

Example Question #32 : Algebra 1

Solve for $\displaystyle x$.

-7+x=9 $\displaystyle -7+x=9$

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle -16$

$\displaystyle 63$

$\displaystyle 2$

$\displaystyle -2$

$\displaystyle 16$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 16$

Explanation:

To isolate $\displaystyle x$, we would add $\displaystyle 7$ on both sides.

The left side is just $\displaystyle x.$

The right side, we will have

$\displaystyle x=9+7=16$.

x=16 $\displaystyle x=16$

Example Question #31 : Linear Equations

Solve the equation for $\displaystyle x$.

x+14=6 $\displaystyle x+14=6$

Possible Answers:

x=-8 $\displaystyle x=-8$

x=20 $\displaystyle x=20$

x=8 $\displaystyle x=8$

x=14 $\displaystyle x=14$

Correct answer:

x=-8 $\displaystyle x=-8$

Explanation:

x+14=6 $\displaystyle x+14=6$

Isolate $\displaystyle x$ by subtracting 14 from each side of the equation.

6 minus 14 is negative 8, so x=8 $\displaystyle x=8$.

Example Question #32 : Linear Equations

Solve for $\displaystyle x$.

$\displaystyle 14x-45=53$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{-4}{7}$ $\displaystyle \frac{-4}{7}$

$\frac{4}{7}$ $\displaystyle \frac{4}{7}$

$\displaystyle 7$

$\displaystyle 6$

$\displaystyle -7$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 7$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle 14x-45=53$

Add $\displaystyle 45$ to both sides.

14x=98 $\displaystyle 14x=98$

Divide both sides by $\displaystyle 14$.

x=7 $\displaystyle x=7$

Example Question #33 : Algebra 1

Solve for $\displaystyle x$.

$\displaystyle 6x+5=-31$

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 6$

$\displaystyle -6$

$\frac{13}{3}$ $\displaystyle \frac{13}{3}$

$\frac{-13}{3}$ $\displaystyle \frac{-13}{3}$

$\displaystyle 4$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle -6$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle 6x+5=-31$

Subtract $\displaystyle 5$ from both sides. Since we are essentially adding two negative numbers, we will treat the right side of the equation as an addition problem and put a negative sign afterwards.

$\displaystyle 6x+5-5=-(31+5)$

6x=-36 $\displaystyle 6x=-36$

Divide both sides by $\displaystyle 6$.

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{(-36)}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{6x}{6}=\frac{(-36)}{6}$

When we divide a negative number by a positive number the answer is always negative.

x=-6 $\displaystyle x=-6$

Example Question #32 : How To Solve One Step Equations

Solve for $\displaystyle x$.

$\displaystyle x+(-32)=9$

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle -23$

$\displaystyle 41$

$\displaystyle 18$

$\displaystyle 23$

$\displaystyle -41$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 41$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle x+(-32)=9$

Adding a negative number is the same operation as subtracting a positive number. Thus, the left side of the equation can be written as follows:

x-32=9 $\displaystyle x-32=9$

Add $\displaystyle 32$ to both sides.

x=41 $\displaystyle x=41$

Example Question #33 : How To Solve One Step Equations

Solve for $\displaystyle x.$

$\displaystyle x+(-43)=-21$

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 64$

$\displaystyle -64$

$\displaystyle -22$

$\displaystyle 22$

$\displaystyle 26$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 22$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle x+(-43)=-21$

Adding a negative number is the same operation as subtracting a positive number. Thus, the left side of the equation can be written as follows:

$\displaystyle x-43=-21$

Add $\displaystyle 43$ to both sides.

$\displaystyle x-43+43=-21+43$

Since $\displaystyle 43$ is greater than $\displaystyle 21$ and is positive, our answer will be positive. We will rewrite the right side of the equation and treat it as a subtraction problem.

x=43-21 $\displaystyle x=43-21$

x=22 $\displaystyle x=22$

Example Question #33 : Linear Equations

Solve for $\displaystyle x$.

x-9=3 $\displaystyle x-9=3$

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 6$

$\displaystyle 14$

$\displaystyle 12$

$\displaystyle -12$

$\displaystyle -6$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 12$

Explanation:

x-9=3 $\displaystyle x-9=3$

Add $\displaystyle 9$ to both sides.

x=12 $\displaystyle x=12$

Example Question #36 : Algebra 1

Solve for $\displaystyle x$.

$\displaystyle x-(-17)=21$

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 38$

$\displaystyle 16$

$\displaystyle -4$

$\displaystyle -38$

$\displaystyle 4$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 4$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle x-(-17)=21$

Subtracting a negative number is the same operation as adding a positive number. Thus, the left side of the equation can be written as follows:

x+17=21 $\displaystyle x+17=21$

Subtract $\displaystyle 17$ from both sides.

x=4 $\displaystyle x=4$

Example Question #34 : Linear Equations

Solve for $\displaystyle x$.

x+19=34 $\displaystyle x+19=34$

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 18$

$\displaystyle 51$

$\displaystyle 17$

$\displaystyle 53$

$\displaystyle 15$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 15$

Explanation:

x+19=34 $\displaystyle x+19=34$

Subtract $\displaystyle 19$ from both sides.

x=15 $\displaystyle x=15$
