Question

Solve the equation. Show the process, not just an answer. 6.EE.7

1) 4k = 24
2) 34 + h = 60
3) 1/5x = 30
4) m-42 = 85

Answer 1

Isolate the variable, note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

1) 4k = 24

Isolate the variable, k. Divide 4 from both sides of the equation:

(4k)/4 = (24)/4

k = 24/4

k = 6

2) 34 + h = 60

Isolate the variable, h. Subtract 34 from both sides of the equation:

34 (-34) + h = 60 (-34)

h = 60 - 34

h = 26

3) 1/5x = 30

Isolate the variable, x. Multiply 5 to both sides of the equation:

(5) * (1/5)x = (30) * (5)

x = 30 * 5

x = 150

4) m - 42 = 85

Isolate the variable, m. Add 42 to both sides of the equation:

m- 42 (+42) = 85 (+42)

m = 85 + 42

m = 127
