What is the related equation with the variable on one side of the equation? 2.5 + x = 10 Then simplify to solve the equation. Drag and drop the appropriate variable or number into each box to represent the two equations

7.5

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

Do you know how to isolate the x?

OpenStudy (moldybubblegum11):

to figure out x just subtract the answer (10) with 2.5

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

7.5 first then what

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

2.5 + x = 10 2.5 + x - 2.5 = 10 - 2.5 x = 10 - 2.5 <---What is the related equation with the variable on one side of the equation? x = 75.

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

7.5 not 75.

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

Do you see how we got that?

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

like this

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

Switch the 10 and 2.5, 10 - 2.5 = 7.5 but 2.5 - 10 = -7.5

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

Does it make sense how we got the variable alone and then simplified it?

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

yh

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

Your answer should be x = 10 - 2.5

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

It has to go in order or it will turn out wrong.

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

thid

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

Perfect

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

That screenshot doesn't show the entire thing.

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

x = 10 - 2.5

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

X goes in the first box, then 10, then -, then 2.5

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

Yes!

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

Perfect!

OpenStudy (hocuspucus292333393):
