The exact answer will depend on the simple equation.
In general terms, you carry out the same operation on both sides of the equation until you have achieved that result.
If you have a positive constant added, you subtract it from both sides:
x + 3 = 5
becomes
x + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3 which simplifies to x + 0 = 2 or x = 2
If it is a negative number, you add it.
If you have a multiple, you divide both sides
5x = 20
5x / 5 = 20/5 which simplifies to x = 4
But remember that whatever you must apply to the whole of both sides.
What else can I help you with?
What is it called when you have to get the variable alone on one side of an equation?
It is to make the variable the subject of the equation.
What do you have to do to get a variable alone?
A) Divide both sides of the equation by 4.
How would you get the variable alone in the equation 4y3?
As it appears, there is no equation but an algebraic term.
What is an equation with one or two variables?
When you solve a one-variable equation, your goal is to isolate the variable.To isolate the variable means to make it be alone on one side of the equals sign.In the equation shown here, you can isolate the variable by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation and simplifying
What must be done get a variable alone on one side of an equation or inequality in order to solve the equation or inequality the answeranswer has eighteen letters with s being the second?
isolate the variable
What is s equals 3?
It is a simple linear equation with one variable, s.
How would you get the variable m alone on one side of the equation 15m equals 45?
Divide both sides of the equation by 15
What do you call a number that stands alone in an equation?
You can call it a "number." To distinguish it from a variable expression, you can also call it a "constant."
How do we solve equations?
In simpler cases, you apply the same operation on both sides of the equation - and you do it in such a way so as to isolate the variable (have it alone, on one side of the equation).For example, take the simple equation:x + 2 = 10You want to have the "x" alone on the left, so you subtract 2 on both sides.
Is 6xy plus 3x equals 4 a linear equation?
No. In the variable x, alone, it is linear. In the variable y, alone, it is linear. But taken together, in x and y, you have a term which contains xy - that is, a term in which the powers of the unknowns add to 2. So the equation is not linear.
How do you get the variable alone in Y divided by 1.5 equals 4.62?
Multiply both sides of the equation by 1.5
How do you solve 3n equals 36?
3n=36 Write the equation n=12 Divide each side of the equation by 3 to get the variable alone.
