Warm Up Check the solution to these problems; are they correct? If not, correct them. 3 – x = -17; x = -20 x/5 = 6; x = 30
Whiteboard Activity One Step Equations
X – 2.3 = 4.7 X = 7
X + 8 = 14.1 X = 6.1
X / 1.2 = =7 X= -8.4
X + 3.9 = 0.7 X = -3.2
-6.3x = -8.19 X = 1.3
32.663 = x + 11.363 X = 21.3
X – 25.4 = -44.8 X = 19.4
28.8 = 18x X = 1.6
X – 18 = -36.6 X = -18.6
-165.832 - -10.91x X = 15.2
Translate each verbal expression into an algebraic expression, then solve
the sum of a number and 2.62 is 6.37 X + 2.62 = 6.37 X = 3.75
¾ of a number is 9 3/4x = 9 X = 12
the quotient of some number and -1.8 is 7.2 x/-1.8 = 7.2 X = -12.96
the difference of a number and 2.4 is equal to -1.2 X – 2.4 = -1.2 X = 1.2
a number squared is 225. X2 = 225 X = 15
