Evaluating Equations Transpose the
Ex.1) 2x + 7 = 25 constant in the
left to the right. If
2x = 25 - 7 it’s positive,
2x = 18 change to
2 2 negative; if
negative, change
x= 9 it to positive.
Ex.2) 47 - 5n = 17
-5n = 17 - 47
-5n = -30
-5 -5
n= 6
Transpose the
Ex.3) (3n) (8) = 72 constant in the
3n = 72 ÷ 8 left to the right. If
3n = 9 it’s multiplication,
change to
3 3 division; if
division, change it
n= 3 to multiplication.
Ex.4) 9x ÷ 9 = 4
9x = (4) (9)
9x = 36
9 9
x= 4
Ex.5) 9x + 9 = 81
9x = 81 - 9
9x = 72
9 9
x=8
