Linear Equations Worksheet Solution
The task is to solve each of the given linear equations. Below are the solutions with step-by-step explanations.
---
#### 1 a. \( 8 = \frac{z}{6} \)
1. To isolate \( z \), multiply both sides of the equation by 6:
\[
8 \times 6 = \frac{z}{6} \times 6
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
48 = z
\]
Solution: \( z = 48 \)
---
#### 1 b. \( c + 1 = 1 \)
1. To isolate \( c \), subtract 1 from both sides:
\[
c + 1 - 1 = 1 - 1
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
c = 0
\]
Solution: \( c = 0 \)
---
#### 2 a. \( 11 = \frac{x}{8} \)
1. To isolate \( x \), multiply both sides of the equation by 8:
\[
11 \times 8 = \frac{x}{8} \times 8
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
88 = x
\]
Solution: \( x = 88 \)
---
#### 2 b. \( 2 + y = 11 \)
1. To isolate \( y \), subtract 2 from both sides:
\[
2 + y - 2 = 11 - 2
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
y = 9
\]
Solution: \( y = 9 \)
---
#### 3 a. \( b - 11 = 11 \)
1. To isolate \( b \), add 11 to both sides:
\[
b - 11 + 11 = 11 + 11
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
b = 22
\]
Solution: \( b = 22 \)
---
#### 3 b. \( c + 5 = 5 \)
1. To isolate \( c \), subtract 5 from both sides:
\[
c + 5 - 5 = 5 - 5
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
c = 0
\]
Solution: \( c = 0 \)
---
#### 4 a. \( 5z = 4 \)
1. To isolate \( z \), divide both sides by 5:
\[
\frac{5z}{5} = \frac{4}{5}
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
z = \frac{4}{5}
\]
Solution: \( z = \frac{4}{5} \)
---
#### 4 b. \( 5 - b = 1 \)
1. To isolate \( b \), subtract 5 from both sides:
\[
5 - b - 5 = 1 - 5
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
-b = -4
\]
3. Multiply both sides by -1 to solve for \( b \):
\[
b = 4
\]
Solution: \( b = 4 \)
---
#### 5 a. \( 5 = 9s \)
1. To isolate \( s \), divide both sides by 9:
\[
\frac{5}{9} = \frac{9s}{9}
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
s = \frac{5}{9}
\]
Solution: \( s = \frac{5}{9} \)
---
#### 5 b. \( 3 = 7p \)
1. To isolate \( p \), divide both sides by 7:
\[
\frac{3}{7} = \frac{7p}{7}
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
p = \frac{3}{7}
\]
Solution: \( p = \frac{3}{7} \)
---
#### 6 a. \( 11 = p + 1 \)
1. To isolate \( p \), subtract 1 from both sides:
\[
11 - 1 = p + 1 - 1
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
p = 10
\]
Solution: \( p = 10 \)
---
#### 6 b. \( \frac{c}{11} = 2 \)
1. To isolate \( c \), multiply both sides by 11:
\[
\frac{c}{11} \times 11 = 2 \times 11
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
c = 22
\]
Solution: \( c = 22 \)
---
Final Answers:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
1 \text{ a. } z = 48 & 1 \text{ b. } c = 0 \\
2 \text{ a. } x = 88 & 2 \text{ b. } y = 9 \\
3 \text{ a. } b = 22 & 3 \text{ b. } c = 0 \\
4 \text{ a. } z = \frac{4}{5} & 4 \text{ b. } b = 4 \\
5 \text{ a. } s = \frac{5}{9} & 5 \text{ b. } p = \frac{3}{7} \\
6 \text{ a. } p = 10 & 6 \text{ b. } c = 22 \\
\end{array}
}
