Equations – Success if you can do these

Equations – Success if you can do these. How to solve the 5 x = 20 type of equation. The 5 and 20 can be any number. 5 x = 20 means 5 X x = 20. 5 x = 20 5 X x = 20. 5 x = 20 means 5 X x = 20. So, you get rid of the 5 X by ÷ 5. 5 x = 20 5 X x ÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 5.

  1. Equations – Success if you can do these

  2. How to solve the5x = 20type of equation The 5 and 20 can be any number

  3. 5x = 20 means 5 X x = 20 5x = 20 5 Xx= 20

  4. 5x = 20 means 5 X x = 20 So, you get rid of the 5 X by ÷ 5 5x = 20 5 Xx÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 5

  5. 5x = 20 means 5 X x = 20 So, you get rid of the 5 X by ÷ 5 5x = 20 5 Xx÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 5 x = 4

  6. 5x = 20 means 5 X x = 20 So, you get rid of the 5 X by ÷ 5 5x = 20 5 Xx÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 5 x = 4 But you must divide both sides by 5

  7. For equations like 5x = 20 just divide both sides by the number that multiplies the x. 5x = 20 x = 20 ÷ 5 x = 4 Like this

  8. How to solve thex/3 = 4type of equation The 3 and 4 can be any number

  9. It means x ÷ 3 = 4 x/3 = 4 x÷ 3 = 4

  10. It means x ÷ 3 = 4 x/3 = 4 x÷ 3 = 4 x÷ 3X 3= 4 X 3 Get rid of ÷ 3by using a X 3

  11. It means x ÷ 3 = 4 x/3 = 4 x÷ 3 = 4 x÷ 3X 3= 4 X 3 x = 12 Get rid of ÷ 3by using a X 3

  12. It means x ÷ 3 = 4 x/3 = 4 x÷ 3 = 4 x÷ 3X 3= 4 X 3 x = 12 Get rid of ÷ 3by using a X 3 You must X 3 on both sides

  13. For equations like x/3 = 4 just multiply both sides by the number that divides the x. x/3 = 4 x = 4 X 3 x =12 Like this

  14. Try these

  15. Remember, always do the same thing to both sides. Felix is checking that you do this properly. x/3 = 12 x ÷ 3 X 3 = 12 X 3 x =36
