Equations – Success if you can do these 3x = 6 4x + 2 = 3x + 7 x/4 = 2 5x – 3 = 7 + 3x x + 3 = 17 3(x + 2) = 12 x – 4 = 13 4(x + 5) = 32 3x + 4 = 25 3(2x – 2) = 2(x + 6) 4x – 3 = 17 4(3x + 5) = 2(x + 15)
How to solve the 5x = 20 type of equation 5 and 20 can be any number
5x = 20 means 5 X x = 20 5x = 20 5 X x = 20
So, you get rid of the 5 X by ÷ 5 5x = 20 means 5 X x = 20 So, you get rid of the 5 X by ÷ 5 5x = 20 5 X x ÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 5
So, you get rid of the 5 X by ÷ 5 5x = 20 means 5 X x = 20 So, you get rid of the 5 X by ÷ 5 5x = 20 5 X x ÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 5 x = 4
5x = 20 means 5 X x = 20 So, you get rid of the 5 X by ÷ 5 5x = 20 5 X x ÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 5 x = 4 But you must divide both sides by 5
just divide both sides by the number that multiplies the x. For equations like 5x = 20 just divide both sides by the number that multiplies the x. 5x = 20 x = 20 ÷ 5 x = 4 Like this
How to solve the x/3 = 4 type of equation The 3 and 4 can be any number
It means x ÷ 3 = 4 x/3 = 4 x ÷ 3 = 4
x/3 = 4 x ÷ 3 = 4 x ÷ 3 X 3 = 4 X 3 X 3 It means x ÷ 3 = 4 Get rid of ÷ 3 by using a X 3
x/3 = 4 x ÷ 3 = 4 x ÷ 3 X 3 = 4 X 3 x = 12 X 3 It means x ÷ 3 = 4 Get rid of ÷ 3 by using a X 3
x/3 = 4 x ÷ 3 = 4 x ÷ 3 X 3 = 4 X 3 x = 12 X 3 It means x ÷ 3 = 4 Get rid of ÷ 3 by using a X 3 You must X 3 on both sides
just multiply both sides by the number that divides the x. For equations like x/3 = 4 just multiply both sides by the number that divides the x. x/3 = 4 x = 4 X 3 x =12 Like this
Try these 1 2x = 16 7 x/4 = 2 2 3x = 21 8 x/2 = 3 3 5x = 35 9 x/4 = 5 10 x/5 = 6 5 2x = 7 11 x/8 = 7 6 5x = 12 12 x/9 = 10
Remember, always do the same thing to both sides. Felix is checking that you do this properly. x/3 = 12 x ÷ 3 X 3 = 12 X 3 x =36
