Writing Variable Equations

252 is c divided by 40

• $252\ =\ \frac{c}{40}$

• $c\ +\ 40\ =\ 252$

• $252\ =40c$

the quotient of j and 37 is 293

• $\frac{j}{37}=293$

• $j\ +\ 37=293$

• $37j\ =\ 293$

163 multiplied by m is equal to 397

• $163m=397$

• $\frac{m}{163}=397$

• $m-163=397$

273 is m minus 122

• $273=m-122$

• $273=m+122$

• $122=\frac{m}{273}$

the product of 343 and h is 159

• $343h=159$

• $\frac{h}{343}=159$

• $343=159h$

243 is equal to 204 less than c

• $243=c-204$

• $243=204c$

• $204=c+243$

273 is 130 multiplied by h

• $273=130h$

• $273=\frac{h}{130}$

• $130=273h$

258 equals y reduced by 41

• $258=y-41$

• $258=41y$

• $258=y+41$

f decreased by 225 is equal to a

• $f-225=a$

• $f+a=225$

• $f\cdot a=225$

z decreased by 288 equals q

• $z-288=q$

• $\frac{z}{288}=q$

• $q+288=z$
