1 Question 1 of 10

Not answered

Solve for x: x + 9 = 24

Hint: Subtract 9 from both sides.

Explanation: x + 9 = 24. Subtract 9 from both sides: x = 24 - 9 = 15.

2 Question 2 of 10

Not answered

Solve for x: 4x = 36

Hint: Divide both sides by 4.

Explanation: 4x = 36. Divide both sides by 4: x = 9.

3 Question 3 of 10

Not answered

Solve for x: 3x - 7 = 20

Hint: Add 7 to both sides first.

Explanation: 3x - 7 = 20. Add 7 to both sides: 3x = 27. Divide by 3: x = 9.

4 Question 4 of 10

Not answered

Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 17

Hint: Subtract 5, then divide by 2.

Explanation: 2x + 5 = 17. Subtract 5: 2x = 12. Divide by 2: x = 6.

5 Question 5 of 10

Not answered

Solve for x: x/5 = 11

Hint: Multiply both sides by 5.

Explanation: x/5 = 11. Multiply both sides by 5: x = 55.

6 Question 6 of 10

Not answered

Solve for x: 5x + 4 = 2x + 19

Hint: Move the x terms to one side and the numbers to the other side.

Explanation: 5x + 4 = 2x + 19. Subtract 2x: 3x + 4 = 19. Subtract 4: 3x = 15. Divide by 3: x = 5.

7 Question 7 of 10

Not answered

Solve for x: 2(x + 3) = 18

Hint: Divide by 2 first, or distribute the 2.

Explanation: 2(x + 3) = 18. Divide both sides by 2: x + 3 = 9. Subtract 3: x = 6.

8 Question 8 of 10

Not answered

Solve for x: 7 - x = 2

Hint: Find the number that must be subtracted from 7 to get 2.

Explanation: 7 - x = 2. Subtract 7 from both sides: -x = -5. Multiply by -1: x = 5.

9 Question 9 of 10

Not answered

A number is multiplied by 3 and then 8 is added. The result is 29. What is the number?

Hint: Write the equation as 3x + 8 = 29.

Explanation: Let the number be x. Then 3x + 8 = 29. Subtract 8: 3x = 21. Divide by 3: x = 7.

10 Question 10 of 10

Not answered

Solve for x: 4(x - 2) = 2x + 10

Hint: Distribute 4 first.

Explanation: 4(x - 2) = 2x + 10. Distribute: 4x - 8 = 2x + 10. Subtract 2x: 2x - 8 = 10. Add 8: 2x = 18. Divide by 2: x = 9.
