Front

What is the process to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

To isolate a variable, perform inverse operations on both sides of the equation to get the variable alone on one side.

Front

How do you solve for M in the equation 1,925 = 598 + M?

Back

Subtract 598 from both sides: M = 1,925 - 598 = 1,327.

Front

What is the value of B in the equation 6,942 + B = 19,402?

Back

Subtract 6,942 from both sides: B = 19,402 - 6,942 = 12,460.

Front

How do you find the number of adults (X) if 2,936 people are attending a concert and 937 are kids?

Back

Subtract the number of kids from the total: X = 2,936 - 937 = 1,999.

Front

What is the solution for A in the equation A - 99 = 292?

Back

Add 99 to both sides: A = 292 + 99 = 391.

Front

If there are 1,792 students in a school and 826 are boys, how do you find the number of girls (G)?

Back

Subtract the number of boys from the total: G = 1,792 - 826 = 966.

Front

What is the importance of understanding inverse operations in solving equations?

Back

Inverse operations allow you to manipulate equations to isolate variables and find their values.

Front

What does it mean to 'solve for a variable'?

Back

To solve for a variable means to find its value by manipulating the equation to isolate it.

Front

What is the first step in solving an equation like 6,942 + B = 19,402?

Back

Identify the operation being performed on the variable and apply the inverse operation.

Front

How can you check if your solution for M = 1,327 is correct in the equation 1,925 = 598 + M?

Back

Substitute M back into the equation: 598 + 1,327 should equal 1,925.
