Example Question #41 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Evaluate:
In order to solve the equation, we have to isolate the variable. We do this by performing the same operation to either side of the equation.
To isolate , divide both sides by .
If dividing by decimals is difficult, multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 to get whole numbers to divide.
Next factor the numerator to find a common factor to cancel out.
Example Question #42 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Solve:
To determine the value of the unknown variable, isolate the term by dividing both sides by .
If dividing by decimals is difficult, you can convert each decimal into an integer by multiplying each number by 100 or moving the decimal to the right two places.
Now divide,
Example Question #43 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Solve:
To solve for the unknown variable, divide both sides by .
If dividing by decimals is difficult, you can convert the decimal into an integer by multiplying the decimal number by 100 or moving the decimal to the right two places.
Now divide each side by 33 and then factor the numerator to simplify the fraction.
Example Question #44 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Solve:
Divide on both sides of the equation.
Example Question #45 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Solve:
In order to solve the equation, we have to isolate the variable. We do this by performing the same operation to either side of the equation.
To solve for , divide both sides by .
If dividing by decimals is difficult, just multiply both decimals by 100 to get integers.
When you multiply by 100 you move the decimal two spaces to the right.
From here factor the numerator and cancel like terms.
Example Question #46 : One Step Equations With Decimals
Solve:
