Example Question #31 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

Which equation first the description?

Half of the difference of and a number is .

Possible Answers:

$20 \times 2 = x$

$\frac{20-x}{2}=6$

2 (20 -x)=6

$\frac{20-6}{2}=x$

Correct answer:

$\frac{20-x}{2}=6$

Explanation:

In order to choose the right answer, you must know which mathematical operations each of these words refer to:

"Half of": Divide by two

"Difference": Subtract a number

"A number" or "An unknown number": The unknown number is a variable; let's call it

"is" or "is equal to": add an equal sign

So, in the problem "Half of the difference of and a number is ," we are looking for half of "the difference of 20 and a number". That is written as:

$\frac{20-x}{2}$

If that is equal to , the answer is:

$\frac{20-x}{2}=6$

Example Question #32 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

Which equation fits the description?

The sum of two different numbers and is .

Possible Answers:

$2\times5=10$

x+x+5=10

2x+5=10

a+b+5=10

Correct answer:

a+b+5=10

Explanation:

In order to choose the right answer, you must know which mathematical operations each of these words refer to:

"Sum": Add numbers

"A number" or "An unknown number": The unknown number is a variable; let's call it

"Is" or "is equal to": add an equals sign

So, in the problem "The sum of two different numbers and is ," we are looking to add two different variables to that will equal .

The answer cannot be 2x+5=10 because the problem asks for two different variables. represents two of the same number.

The answer is a+b+5=10
