How do you solve the equation x + 5 = 20?

Back

To solve for x, subtract 5 from both sides: x = 20 - 5, so x = 15.

Front

What is the solution to the equation x - 3 = 0?

Back

To solve for x, add 3 to both sides: x = 0 + 3, so x = 3.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 2x = 6?

Back

To solve for x, divide both sides by 2: x = 6 / 2, so x = 3.

Front

What is the solution to the equation x/4 = 2?

Back

To solve for x, multiply both sides by 4: x = 2 * 4, so x = 8.

Front

What is the inverse operation of addition?

Back

The inverse operation of addition is subtraction.

Front

What is the inverse operation of multiplication?

Back

The inverse operation of multiplication is division.

Front

How do you solve the equation x - 7 = -17?

Back

To solve for x, add 7 to both sides: x = -17 + 7, so x = -10.

Front

What is the solution to the equation -3x = 9?

Back

To solve for x, divide both sides by -3: x = 9 / -3, so x = -3.

Front

What is the solution to the equation x + 12 = 0?

Back

To solve for x, subtract 12 from both sides: x = 0 - 12, so x = -12.
