Single-Step Equations
13+x=17
x=4
3x+5=14
x=3
-2x=14
x=-7
2(x+1)=14
x=6
x/5=-25
x=5
x is actually -100 because 5 times -25 is -100.
x-3=16
x=19
2x-16=4
x=10
-x/15=7
x=-105
4(2x-6)=48
x=9
6x=24
x=144
They should have divided: x = 4
6x=66
x=11
4+7x=46
x=6
3-8x=43
x=-5
3(7x-5)=174
x=9
4x-5=19
4x=14
x=14/4
Step 1: they should have added 19+5.
4x=24
x=6
x/9=4
x=36
-5+15x=40
x=3
-6x-12=-36
x=2
-2(x+4)=-16
x=4
3-7x=28
3x=21
x=7
They messed up the variable term!
Step1: -3 from both sides -7x=25
Step 2: divide
x=-25/7
x/15=-21
x = -315
8+3x=-10
x=-6
6-0.5x=18
x=-24
-4(7x-3)=68
x=-2
-4(x-3)=36
4x+12=36
4x=24
x=6
They forgot the negative in step 1!
-4x+12=36
-4x=24
x=-6
