Combining the operations
The allowed operations are:
Add the same amount to both sides (either x's or ones)
Subtract the same amount from both sides (either x's or ones)
Multiply both sides by the same number (but not by zero)
Divide both sides by the same number (but not by zero)
(There are others, too, but they are not needed in simple equations.)
The goal is to FIRST add and subtract until we have ONLY x's (blocks) on one side and ONLY ones (circles) on the other. Then, if you have more than one block, you need to divide so as to arrive to the situation with only one block on the one side, which is the solved equation!
5=.1*x
divide both side by .1
5/.1=x
x=50 dollars
Answer:
C}
Step-by-step explanation:
The steps below are presented in order to arrive to the value of k of the given equation.
First, multiply both sides of the equation by the variable k since the left-hand side of the equation has it in the denominator. This will be,
(k + 12/ k)(k) = 8(k)
Then, we simplify,
k + 12 = 8k
We then, subtract 8k to both sides of the equation,
k - 8k + 12 = 8k - 8k
Simplifying,
-7k + 12 = 0
Then, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation and divide both sides by -7. This will us the final answer of,
k = 12/7
