Equations Jeopardy

Variable (a) on one side only

100

a + 4 = 9

a = 5

200

2a - 3 = 9

a = 6

300

4 x 4 + 8a = 40

a = 3

400

9a + 4(a + 3) = 64

a = 4

500

40a - 5(3a - 3) = 190

a = 7

Variable (b) on both sides of the equation

100

b + 3 = 5 - b

b = 1

200

2b + 10 = 7b - 15

b = 5

300

4b - 4 - 2b = 3(b + 1)

b = -7

400

3(3b + 4) = 3(8 - b)

b = 1

500

12b + 60 = 6(6b-20)

b = 15 / 2

Equations with one fraction

100

x/2 = 4

x = 8

200

x/3 + 4 = 10

x = 18

300

3(x + 1) / 2 = 12

x = 7

400

4(2x + 2) = 14(x - 4)

x = 32 / 3

500

3(x + 3) / 5 = 5(x - 5) / 3

x = 19/2 

simplified from x = 152/16

Equations with two fractions

100

x / 6 = 3x / 18

x = 1

200

(x+1)/3=(x−1)/5

x = -4

300

(4x−1)/7=(3x+2)/4

x = -18/5

400

5 / (2x−1) = 3 / (x+2)

x = 13

500

x / 2 = 1 + (x / 4)

x = 4

Wild Card

100

(x / 3) + (x / 4) = 7

x = 12

200

(2x+3) / 5 − (x−2) / 2 = 1

x = -4

300

(x+3) / 5 − (x−1) / 4 = 1

x = -3

400

(x−2) / 3 + (x+1) / 4 = (2x−5) / 2

x = 5

500

x(9+x) = 16x

x = 7
