Example Questions

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

$3a+8+7=14\times 3=$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve:

First, solve both equations on each end, keeping the variable.

$\small 3a+ 8+ 7 = 14\cdot 3$

3a + 15= 42

Then, subtract 15 from each side of the equation.

3a +15-15=42-15

3a =27

Finally, divide each side by 3 so that only the variable remains.

$\small 3a\div 3=27\div 3$

$\small \small a=9$

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

Solve for :

7n + 19 = 82

Possible Answers:

n = 10

n = 7

n=6

n = 9

n = 8

Correct answer:

n = 9

Explanation:

Subtract 19, then divide by 7:

7n + 19 = 82

7n + 19-19 = 82-19

7n = 63

$7n \div 7= 63 \div 7$

n = 9

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

A bicycle originally costs $120.00. If it is on sale for 30% off, what is the sale price of the bicycle?

Possible Answers:

$\$84.00$

$\$90.00$

$\$156.00$

$\$117.00$

Correct answer:

$\$84.00$

Explanation:

First multiply the original price by 30%.

$120\ast .30=36$

Then subtract that amount from the original price.

120-36=84

The sale price is $84.00

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

$8\cdot \left ( 2\cdot 5 \right ) \div \left ( 4\cdot 1 \right )=$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First solve the parentheses.

$8 * 10 \div 4=$

Then solve from left to right since multiplication and division are interchangeable:

$80\div 4=20$

The answer is 20.

Example Question #4 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

$3 \frac{2}{6} \ast 2\frac{3}{4}=$

Possible Answers:

$9 \frac{1}{6}$

$22\frac{1}{6}$

Correct answer:

$9 \frac{1}{6}$

Explanation:

First, convert each mixed number into an improper fraction.

$\frac{20}{6}\ast \frac{11}{4}$

Then, reduce where possible and multiply.

Finally, convert your answer into a mixed-number fraction.

$\frac{55}{6}=9 {\frac{1}{6}}$

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

$11 \frac{1}{4} \div 5\frac{2}{5}=$

Possible Answers:

$2\frac{1}{18}$

$2 \frac{1}{12}$

Correct answer:

$2 \frac{1}{12}$

Explanation:

First, convert each mixed number into an improper fraction and flip the second fraction. Then, change the operation to multiplication:

$\frac{45}{4} \ast \frac{5}{27}=$

Reduce where possible and multiply. Convert your answer into a mixed fraction.

Example Question #1 : Equations

$8^{3}\div 2^{2}=$

Possible Answers:

128

Correct answer:

128

Explanation:

First find the exponent value for each number:

$8^{3}\div 2^{2}=512 \div 4=$

Then divide accordingly. The answer is 128.

Example Question #5 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

11+39=12+28+2a

Possible Answers:

2.5

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First follow order of operations and solve on each side.

11+39=12+28+2a

50=40+2a

Then, subtract 40 from each side to leave only the variable:

50-40=40+2a-40

10=2a

Finally, divide both sides by 2.

$10\div 2=2a\div 2$

The answer is 5=a

Report an Error

Example Question #5 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

13 + 27=12+3+ 5a

Possible Answers:

5.5

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First solve with order of operations on each side:

13 + 27=12+3+ 5a

40 = 15+5a

Then subtract 15 from each side:

40-15=15+ 5a-15

25=5a

Finally, divide each side by 5:

$25\div 5=5a\div 5$

5=a

The answer is 5.
