Example Questions

Example Question #1 : One Step Equations With Decimals

Solve for :

0.75x=9

Possible Answers:

9.75

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The goal is to isolate the variable on one side.

0.75x=9

Divide each side by 0.75 :

$\frac{0.75x}{0.75}=\frac{9}{0.75 }$

x=12

Example Question #2 : One Step Equations With Decimals

Solve for :

9.25x=74

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The goal is to isolate the variable on one side.

9.25x=74

Divide each side by 9.25 :

$\frac{9.25x}{9.25}=\frac{74}{9.25}$

x=8

Example Question #3 : One Step Equations With Decimals

Solve for :
1.05+n=3.72

Possible Answers:

n=4.77

n=3.91

n=2.67

n=3.54

Correct answer:

n=2.67

Explanation:

1.05+n=3.72

1.05+n-1.05=3.72-1.05

n=2.67

Example Question #3 : One Step Equations With Decimals

Solve for :

1.75+x=4.2

Possible Answers:

x=7.35

x=2.4

x=5.95

x=2.45

Correct answer:

x=2.45

Explanation:

1.75+x=4.2

Subtract 1.75 from both sides of the equation:

1.75+x-1.75=4.2-1.75

x=2.45

Example Question #5 : One Step Equations With Decimals

Solve for :

$\small .6x=6$

Possible Answers:

$\small 8$

$\small 3.6$

$\small 10$

$\small 1$

$\small 36$

Correct answer:

$\small 10$

Explanation:

To isolate , we must divide both sides by .6:

$\small \small \frac{.6x}{.6}=\frac{6}{.6}$

$\small 1x=10$

$\small x=10$

Example Question #4 : One Step Equations With Decimals

Solve for :

$\frac{x}{0.15} = 3$

Possible Answers:

0.30

0.15

3.45

0.45

Correct answer:

0.45

Explanation:

The goal is to isolate the variable on one side.

$\frac{x}{0.15} = 3$

The opposite operation of division is multiplication, therefore , multiply each side by 0.15:

$\frac{0.15x}{0.15} = 0.15\times 3$

The left hand side can be reduced by recalling that anything divided by itself is equal to 1:

$1\times x = 0.15 \times 3$

The identity law of multiplication takes effect and we get the solution as:

x = 0.45

Example Question #4 : One Step Equations With Decimals

Solve for :

x - 0.23 = 7.12

Possible Answers:

30.96

8.35

7.35

6.89

7.36

Correct answer:

7.35

Explanation:

The goal is to isolate the variable on one side.

x - 0.23 = 7.12

The opposite operation of subtraction is addition so add 0.23 to each side:

x - 0.23 + 0.23 = 7.12 + 0.23

Simplifying, we get the final solution:

x = 7.35

Example Question #4 : One Step Equations With Decimals

Solve for :

x - 1.94 = 2.06

Possible Answers:

1.12

0.12

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The goal is to isolate the variable on one side.

x - 1.94 = 2.06

The opposite operation of subtraction is addition so add 1.94 to each side:

x - 1.94 + 1.94 = 2.06 + 1.94

Simplifying, we get the final solution:

x = 4

Example Question #4 : One Step Equations With Decimals

Solve for :

x + 0.001 = -3

Possible Answers:

-2.999

-3.001

-3.01

3.001

2.999

Correct answer:

-3.001

Explanation:

The goal is to isolate the variable on one side.

x + 0.001 = -3

The opposite operation of addition is subtraction so subtract 0.001 from each side:

x + 0.001 - 0.001 = -3 - 0.001

Simplifying, we get the final solution:

x = -3.001

Example Question #5 : One Step Equations With Decimals

Solve for :

x + 8.11 = 0.002

Possible Answers:

8.112

-8.108

8.18

8.108

-8.18

Correct answer:

-8.108

Explanation:

The goal is to isolate the variable on one side.

x + 8.11 = 0.002

The opposite operation of addition is subtraction so subtract 8.11 from each side:

x + 8.11 - 8.11 = 0.002 - 8.11

Simplifying, we get the final solution:

x = -8.108
