Solving Linear Equations and Operations

The video tutorial provides a quick review of algebra, focusing on solving equations for different variables. It covers solving for W, Y, X, and U, using techniques such as opposite operations, distribution, and combining like terms. The tutorial emphasizes saving the variable portion for the last step and using appropriate operations to isolate the variable. The video concludes with an introduction to the first assignment on the Alex platform.

What is the first step to solve the equation 5W - 6 = 24?

• Divide both sides by 5

• Add 6 to both sides

• Subtract 6 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 5

After adding 6 to both sides of the equation 5W - 6 = 24, what is the resulting equation?

• W = 30

• 5W = 18

• 5W = 30

• W = 18

What operation is used to isolate y in the equation y/5 + 11 = 17?

• Add 11 to both sides

• Subtract 11 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 5

• Divide both sides by 5

What is the value of y in the equation y/5 + 11 = 17?

• 25

• 30

• 5

What is the first step to solve the equation (2x + 3)/5 = 7?

• Subtract 3 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 5

• Add 3 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 5

After multiplying both sides by 5 in the equation (2x + 3)/5 = 7, what is the resulting equation?

• 2x + 3 = 35

• 2x + 3 = 7

• 2x = 35

• x = 35
