Addition

100

X - Y = W ; Solve for X

x = y + w

200

-Y + B = A ; Solve for B

B = A + Y

300

-W + X - Y = A ; Solve for X

X = A + W + Y

400

X - X - Y + A = G + B ; Solve for A (Hint: Combine Like Terms)

A = G + B + Y

500

XYZ - CBA = G ; Solve for XYZ

XYZ = G + CBA

Subtraction

100

X + Y = W ; Solve for Y

Y = W - X

200

U = X + K ; Solve for X

U - K = X

300

X = Y + W + Z ; Solve for Y

X - W - Z = Y

400

X + Y + W + X = B ; Solve for Y (Hint: Combine Like Terms)

Y = B - 2x - W

500

WXY + CBA = D ; Solve for CBA 

CBA = D - WXY

Multiplication

100

X/B = C ; Solve for X

X = BC

200

B/-A = C ; Solve for B 

B = -AC

300

YZ/W = AB; Solve for YZ

YZ = ABW

400

X/2Y = B/A ; Solve for X

X = 2YB/A

500

XY/YZ = BC; Solve for XY

XY = BC*YZ

Division

100

XB = C ; Solve for X

X = C/B

200

-XB = C ; Solve for B

B = C/-X

300

XYZ = B ; Solve for Z

Z = B/XY

400

2X = 2B+YA ; Solve for X (MUST SIMPLIFY)

X = B + YA/2

500

-XYZ = ABC ; Solve for XZ

X = ABC/-YZ

Multi-Step

100

XY + W = A; Solve for X

X = A/Y - W/Y

200

XYZ - WT = A; Solve for X

X = A/YZ + WT/YZ

300

XYZ + WA = B; Solve for W

W = B/A - XYZ/A

400

2X + 4X - WU = T; Solve for X

X = T/6 + WU/6 

500

X/4W - 3H = Y; Solve for X 

X = 4WY + 12HW
