How do you solve the equation 3w = 15?

Back

To solve for w, divide both sides by 3: w = 15 / 3 = 5.

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

Isolating a variable means rearranging the equation so that the variable is on one side and all other terms are on the opposite side.

Front

What operation would you use to solve the equation x + 5 = 12?

Back

You would subtract 5 from both sides to isolate x: x = 12 - 5 = 7.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 2x = 8?

Back

The first step is to divide both sides by 2 to isolate x: x = 8 / 2 = 4.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 5y - 10 = 0?

Back

To solve for y, add 10 to both sides and then divide by 5: y = 10 / 5 = 2.
