What does it mean to solve for 'x'?

To find the value of 'x' in an equation.

Solve for x: x + 5 = 12

x = 7 (Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation)

Solve for x: 2x = 18

x = 9 (Divide both sides of the equation by 2)

Solve for x: 3(x-4) = 15

x = 9 (Distribute, then add 12 to both sides and divide by 3)

Study Notes

  • Use algebra skills to find x and solve real teen-world mysteries
  • Some questions are multiple choice, others require full solving

Part 1: Warm-up (Multiple Choice)

  • Solve for x: x + 5 = 12
    • The answer is a) 7
  • Solve for x: 2x = 18
    • The answer is a) 9

Part 2: Solve the Equations (Open Answer)

  • Solve for x: 3(x-4) = 15
