How do you solve the equation 4p = 16?

Back

To solve for p, divide both sides by 4: p = 16 / 4, which simplifies to p = 4.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation x + 7 = 12?

Back

Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation: x = 12 - 7, which simplifies to x = 5.

Front

What is the inverse operation of addition?

Back

The inverse operation of addition is subtraction.

Front

What equation represents the situation: Robyn had some video games then bought 4 more, and now she has a total of 10 games?

Back

The equation is v + 4 = 10, where v represents the number of video games Robyn originally had.

Front

How do you isolate x in the equation 8 = x + 1?

Back

Subtract 1 from both sides: x = 8 - 1, which simplifies to x = 7.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 3x = 12?

Back

To solve for x, divide both sides by 3: x = 12 / 3, which simplifies to x = 4.

Front

What is the purpose of using inverse operations in solving equations?

Back

Inverse operations are used to isolate the variable and solve the equation by undoing the operation applied to the variable.

Front

How do you solve the equation 5 + y = 10?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: y = 10 - 5, which simplifies to y = 5.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 2x - 6 = 0?

Back

Add 6 to both sides: 2x = 6, then divide by 2: x = 6 / 2, which simplifies to x = 3.
