Quiz

1. Distribution 4540 9070

2. Solving One-Step Equations 1690 0910

Multiple Choice

What first step would you do to get x by itself?

$-3x=6$

Divide both sides by -3

Multiply both sides by -3

Add -3 to both sides

Subtract -3 from both sides

Open Ended

What first step would you do to get x by itself? $\frac{x}{7}=-2$

To calculate the distance a car travels we could use the following equation:

Multiple Choice

Mr. Madeoy drives his race car for 4 hrs at 150 miles/hr. How far will he travel?

(Remember, $d=s\cdot t$ )

300 miles

150 miles

400 miles

600 miles

What if you wanted to calculate the speed instead of the distance? s = ?

What would that equation be? In other words, what if you wanted the equation to have s by itself instead of d, what would we need to be removed to get s by itself?

To get s by itself, t needs to be removed. We would undo multiplying by t by dividing by t.

The result is:

Example.

Solve for x.

Example.

Solve for x.

Answer:

Multiple Choice

Solve the formula for r.

What is the 1st step?

Divide each side by t.

Subtract t from each side.

Add t to each side.

Multiply each side by t.

Multiple Choice

Solve for m.

$m-n=5$

m = 5 + n

m = -5 - n

m = -5 + n

m = 5 - n

Multiple Choice

Solve for W.

A = LW

$W=A-L$

$W=\frac{L}{A}$

$W=A$

$W=\frac{A}{L}$

Example.

Solve for x.

If letters and numbers are multiplied, then you can treat them as if they are one number.

In the equation above, we do not need to split up 2y. We can just subtract it from both sides.

Solve for x.

Multiple Choice

$abc=d$ Solve for a:

$a=bcd$

$a=\frac{bc}{d}$

$a=\frac{c}{bd}$

$a=\frac{d}{bc}$
