Question

How do you create and solve equations in one variable given a real–world situation?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) first eliminate constant(number without variable) you eliminate constant by doing the inverse operation(if constant is being added, then subtract)(if constant is being subtracted, then add it)

ex: if   x+9=32

subtract 9 from both sides to get rid of it

x=23

2) if there is another constant but this constant is being multiplied/divided then do the opposite operation to remove it

you could multiply by 3 on both sides:

x+9=69

x=60
