Question

Write each sentence as an equation.

Answer 1

1) x + 16 = 58

2) 8x = 80

3) 12/x = 3

4) x - 8 = 21

Answer 2

Answer:

(The ones underlined are the equation)

1) Let the number be x

x + 16 = 58

x = 58 - 16

x = 42

2) let the number be x

x * 8 = 80

x = 80/8

x = 10

3) let the number be x

12/x = 3

x = 12/3

x = 4

4) let the number be x

x - 8 = 21

x = 21 + 8

x = 9
