Isolating Variable

To solve an equation, the goal is to __________ the variable on one side.

• Evaluate

• Leviate

• Isolate

• Reciprocate

x + 12 = 20

• x = 32

• x = -32

• x = 8

• x = -8

Solve for x:

• x = 20

• x = 7

• x = 10

• x = 3

4x+1=-15

• -3 1/2

• -4

• -12

• -20

Given the equation 3x + 11 = 2x - 5 The new equation after isolating the variable on one side and the constant on the other would be...?

• 5x = -6

• 5x = -16

• x = -16

• x = 6

Solve for y in terms of x: 3x - 4y = 10

• y = -3x + 10

• y = 0.75x + 2.5

• y = -3/4x + 10

• y = 3/4x - 2.5

3+4x+5x=21
Solve for x.

• x=4

• x=-18

• x=2

• x=10

Solve for m:  3/4(m-4)=9

• 16

• -12

• -18

• 24

Solve:
7x - 3x - 8 = 24

• 8

• -8

• 3.2

• 4

Solve:
6(5x - 3) + 2 = 14

• 2

• 5

• -1

• 1
