Literal Equations Steps

Isolating a variable in a literal equation requires the use of ______ to undo the operations connected to it.

• an eraser

• inverse operations

• apps that solve it for you

Which set of steps can you use to isolate y in the equation?

• IN THIS ORDER:

  Divide both sides by 7.

• IN THIS ORDER:

  Subtract 2x on both sides.

  Divide both sides by 7.

• IN THIS ORDER:

  Subtract 7y on both sides.

  Divide by 2 on both sides.

If g + h = rs, which TWO equations are also TRUE?

• r = (g + h)/s

• g = rs - h

• r + s = gh

• g - h = r/s

Solve for x:

• x = yb - v

• x = by - v

• x = by + v

What is the first step to solve this equation:

-3x + 11 = 44

• Add 3 to both sides

• Subtract 11 from both sides

• Add 11 to both sides

• Divide 3 on both sides.

Solve -2 = 4r + s for s.

• s = -4r + 2

• s = 4r - 2

• s = -4r - 2

• s = 4r + 2

• x = yb - v

• x = by - v

• x = by + v

• x = vy + b

How do you solve for y in the equation 2y + 5x = 6?

• Add 2y to both sides and multiply by 5

• Subtract 2y from both sides and divide by 5

• Add 5x to both sides and multiply by 2

• Subtract 5x from both sides and divide by 2

Answer explanation

To solve for y in the equation 2y + 5x = 6, we need to isolate y. The correct choice is to subtract 5x from both sides and divide by 2, which gives us the value of y.
