Solve for m

m + 4 = 7

m = 3

Solve for z 

4z = 32

z = 8

4x + 12 = 28

4x + 12 = 28

4x + 12 - 12 = 28 - 12

4x = 16

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 4

True or false:

When multiplying or dividing, when the signs are the same, your answer is positive. When the signs are different, your answer is negative.

True!

Solve for b

b - 8 = 23

b = 31

Solve for h

h ÷ 5 = 9

h = 45

Solve for p. 

(p/4) + 3 = 23

(p/4) + 3 = 23

(p/4) + 3 - 3 = 23 - 3

(p/4) = 20

(p/4) x 4 = 20 x 4

p = 80

Solve 

4 + -3

4 + -3 = 4 - 3 = 1

4 x 3 

4 x 3 = 12

Solve for y

12 + y = 40

y = 28

Solve for g

7g = 217

g = 31

Solve for s


2s - 8 = 20

2s - 8 = 20

2s - 8 + 8= 20 + 8

2s = 28

2s ÷ 2 = 28 ÷ 2

s = 14

Solve 

-7 - 5

-7 - 5 = -7 + -5 = -12

Solve 

-10 x 6

-60

Solve for x

3 + x = -20

3 + x = -20

3 - 3 + x = -20 - 3

x = -20 + -3

x = -23

Solve for d

d ÷ 12 = 3

d = 36

Solve for (3/4)q + 5 = 35


(3/4)q + 5 = 35

(3/4)q + 5 - 5 = 35 - 5

(3/4)q = 30

(4/3)(3/4)q = 30(4/3)

Cross cancel--both 3 and 30 can be divided by 3. So now your fractions look like (4/1)(10)

4 x 10 = 40

q = 40

Solve 

-8 + 7

-8 + 7 

You have to subtract, because the signs are different and it will take the sign of the bigger number!

8 - 7 = 1

8 > 7, so it's -1

Solve

-7 x -5

Solve for j

j - 20 = -90

j - 20 = -90

j - 20 + 20 = -90 + 20

signs are different, so you find the difference of -90 and +20

j = -70

Solve for f

(3/4)f = 18

f = 24

Amber is saving money for a switch game. She already has 30 dollars saved. Every w weeks, Alice earns 10 dollars. If the game costs 60 dollars, how many weeks will Alice have to work to save up for the switch game. Write an equation to solve

60 = 10w + 30 (10 is the rate of change, 30 is the constant)

30 = 10w

3 = w

Solve

8 - -2

8 - -2 = 8 + 2 = 10

The answers to these expressions are different, even though the numbers are the same. Show the different answers!

(-4)2 =

-42 =

(-4)2 = (-4) x (-4) = 16

-42 = - (4 x 4) = -(16) = -16

When there are parentheses, the problem follows normal negative rules. When there aren't, the answer is always negative, regardless of the rule!
