Question

Solve each equation

2x=5

y+1.8=14.7

6=1/2z

3 1/4 = 1/2 + w

2.5t=10 ​

Answer 1

1. 2x=5

Divide both by 2, x=2.5

2. y+1.8=14.7

Subtract 1.8 from both sides to isolate the variable, x=12.9

3. 6=1/2z

Multiply each side by 2 to isolate the variable, 12=z

4. 3 1/4 = 1/2+w

Isolate the variable by subtracting 1/2 to both sides, 2 3/4 = w

5. 2.5t=10

Divide each side by 2.5 to isolate the variable, t=4
