Question

Write equations for the following statements :

(i) The sum of numbers x and 4 is 9.

(ii) 2 subtracted from y is 8.

(iii) Ten times a is 70.

(iv) The number b divided by 5 gives 6.

(v) Three-fourth of t is 15.

(vi) Seven times m plus 7 gets you 77.

(vii) One-fourth of a number x minus 4 gives 4.

(viii) If you take away 6 from 6 times y, you get 60.

(ix) If you add 3 to one-third of Z, you get 30.

Answer 1

(i) x + 4 = 9

(ii) y – 2 = 8

(iii) 10a = 70

(iv) \(\frac{3}{4t} = 15\)

(v) t = 15

(vi) 7m + 1 = 11

(vii) \(\frac{1}{4}x - 4 = 4\)

(viii)  6y – 6 = 60

(ix) \(\frac{1}{3}\)z + 3 = 30
