Writing Equations
The sum of a number x and 4 equals 12.
x + 4 = 12
y - 7 = 3
y=10
s/10 = 7
s=70
8 + z/4 = 23
z = 60
2(x-1)=6
x=4
9 times a number b is 36.
9 x b = 36
p+5=8
p=3
42 = 7k
k=6
4b - 12 = 0
b=3
4(3x-12)=16
x=6
9 less than a number n equals 27.
n - 9 = 27
Is the given value a solution? x+42=85 ; x=43
yes
12.5n=32 (give answer in a decimal form to the nearest hundredth)
n=2.56
2.4a + 8 =27.2
a = 8
-3(x-20)=21
x=13
5 is one fourth of a number c.
5 = 1/4(c)
3/4 = j - 1/2
j = 1 and 1/4
3(25) = 6w
w=12.5
c + 3c = 16
c=4
3(12-x)=18
x=6
9 added to the square of a number is 13
9+x2=13
b +7 +12 = 30
b = 11
c/15 = 4.4(2)
c = 132
32y + 10 - 2 =24
y = 1/2
2(x-7) - 19= 1
x=17
