Random

100

Why do we add 4 on both sides of this equation?

-4 + x = 3

Because - 4 + 4 = 0 and that is how we isolate the x.

200

Why do we divide on both sides by 6? 

12 = 6x

Because 6/6 =1 and that is how we isolate the x.

By making it into a 1x.

300

Why do we multiply by 5 on both sides?

y/5 = 4

Because 5 * (y/5) = 5y/5 = 1y

500

What are two ways we can start solving this equation?(x/2) - 3 = 7

First way: + 3 on both sides.

Second way: multiply by 2 on both sides. Can someone show us how we do that?
