Inverse Operations One-Step

Solve the equation:
-5x = 25

• x = 20

• x = -20

• x = -5

• x = 5

x + 12 = 20

• x = 32

• x = -32

• x = 8

• x = -8

Solve for x

x + 7 = 18

• x = 7

• x = 11

• x = 18

• x = 25

Solve for x

x - 4 = -20

• x = -24

• x = -20

• x = -16

• x = -4

Solve for x

5x = 40

• x = 200

• x = 40

• x = 8

• x = 5

Solve for x

x ÷ 2 = 14

• x = 7

• x = 14

• x = 2

• x = 28
