Um isn’t there supposed to be a picture or something? how will I know what b represent?
This transaction is "capital loss" because he lost money in buying 10 shares of Apex Company. He bought them for more than he sold them for.
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
