Question 1
A) x + 28 = 80
Subtract 28 on both sides of equation.
x = 52
B) 4(x+7)=80
Divide both sides of equation by 4.
x + 7 = 20
Subtract 7 on both sides or equation.
x = 13
C) 4x + 7=80
Subtract 7 on both sides of equation.
4x = 73
Divide both sides of equation by 4.
x = 18.25
D) 4x+ 28 = 80
Subtract 28 on both sides of equation.
4x = 52
Divide both sides of equation by 4.
x = 13
Question 2
Substitute the known variables into the expression. Do not forget to use PEMDAS.
[5(2)*(42) - 3(5)] / 6
First perform parentheses and exponents.
[5(2) * 16 - 3(5)] / 6
Next is multiplication from left to right.
[10 * 16 - 15] / 6
Simplify what is in brackets.
(160 - 15) / 6 =
145 / 6
Ways to say 7x - 18 = 18:
1) Subtract 18 on both sides of equation.
7x - 36 = 0
