General equation: The general equation is very simple. I'll help you calculate the specific figures. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division should be the opposite.
Example:
x+3=5
Solution: x+3-3=5-3
x=2
x-3=2
Answer: x-3+3=2+3.
x=5
3x=6
Solution: 3x÷3=6÷3
x=2
x÷3=3
Solution: x÷3×3=3×3
x=9
Special equation: don't make trouble with special equations, add, subtract, multiply and divide with unknowns, and the multiplication becomes general.
Example:
20-x=9
Solution: 20-x+x=9+x
20=9+x
9+x=20
9+x-9=20-9
x= 1 1
2. 1÷x=3
Solution: 2. 1÷x×x=3×x
2. 1=3×x
3×x=2. 1
3×x÷3=2. 1÷3
x=0.7
A slightly more complicated equation: a little more complicated, a little farther away.
( 1)ax+b=c
ax-b=c
For example: 3x+4=40
Solution: 3x+4-4=40 -4
3x=36
3×3 = 36×3
x= 12
3x-6=9
Solution: 3x-6+6=9+6.
3x= 15
3×3 = 15×3
x=5
(2)a(x-b)=c
a(x+b)=c
Example:
2(x- 18)= 16
Solution: 2(x- 18)÷2= 16÷2.
x- 18=8
x- 18+ 18=8+ 18
x=26
2(x- 18)= 16
Solution: 2x-36= 16
2x-36+36= 16+36
2x=52
x=26
