Step-by-step solution for: Order of Operations with Fractions (A) Worksheet for 5th - 6th ...
It looks like you've uploaded an image containing a set of mathematical equations, but I can't view images directly. However, based on your description and the text you've provided, I'll assume that the image contains a list of equations to solve.
Here is the list of equations you've shared:
1. $ (x - 2) + (3x - 4) $
2. $ 2x - \frac{1}{3} = x - \frac{1}{6} $
3. $ \left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4}\right)x = 2 $
4. $ x - 4 = \frac{x}{3} $
5. $ x^2 + (-1) = 0 $
6. $ 2(1 - x) = -\left[\frac{1}{2}x\right] $
7. $ |-2| + x = 0 $
8. $ \left|\frac{1}{2}x - 2\right| = 2 $
9. $ \left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}\right)x = 2 $
10. $ \sqrt{2x - 1} = 2 $
Let's solve each equation step by step and explain the solution.
---
$$
(x - 2) + (3x - 4)
$$
This is not an equation (no equals sign), so it's likely an expression to simplify:
$$
x - 2 + 3x - 4 = 4x - 6
$$
✔ Simplified form: $ 4x - 6 $
---
$$
2x - \frac{1}{3} = x - \frac{1}{6}
$$
Subtract $ x $ from both sides:
$$
x - \frac{1}{3} = -\frac{1}{6}
$$
Add $ \frac{1}{3} $ to both sides:
$$
x = -\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{3} = -\frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{6}
$$
✔ Solution: $ x = \frac{1}{6} $
---
$$
\left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4}\right)x = 2
$$
Simplify inside the parentheses:
$$
\left(\frac{2}{4} - \frac{1}{4}\right)x = \frac{1}{4}x = 2
$$
Multiply both sides by 4:
$$
x = 8
$$
✔ Solution: $ x = 8 $
---
$$
x - 4 = \frac{x}{3}
$$
Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate denominator:
$$
3x - 12 = x
$$
Subtract $ x $ from both sides:
$$
2x - 12 = 0 \Rightarrow 2x = 12 \Rightarrow x = 6
$$
✔ Solution: $ x = 6 $
---
$$
x^2 + (-1) = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 - 1 = 0
$$
Factor:
$$
(x - 1)(x + 1) = 0
$$
So:
$$
x = 1 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -1
$$
✔ Solutions: $ x = \pm 1 $
---
$$
2(1 - x) = -\left[\frac{1}{2}x\right]
$$
First, expand the left side:
$$
2 - 2x = -\left[\frac{1}{2}x\right]
$$
The notation $[ \cdot ]$ usually means floor function, i.e., greatest integer less than or equal to the number.
But this makes the equation tricky because it involves a floor function. Let's suppose $ \left[\frac{1}{2}x\right] $ is the floor of $ \frac{1}{2}x $. Then:
$$
2 - 2x = -\left\lfloor \frac{1}{2}x \right\rfloor
$$
Let $ y = \frac{1}{2}x $, so $ x = 2y $, then:
$$
2 - 4y = -\lfloor y \rfloor
$$
Try small values for $ y $:
- If $ y = 0 $: $ 2 - 0 = 2 $, RHS = $ -0 = 0 $ → no
- $ y = 1 $: $ 2 - 4 = -2 $, RHS = $ -1 $ → no
- $ y = 0.5 $: $ 2 - 2 = 0 $, $ \lfloor 0.5 \rfloor = 0 $, RHS = 0 → YES!
So $ y = 0.5 \Rightarrow x = 1 $
Check: $ x = 1 $
Left: $ 2(1 - 1) = 0 $
Right: $ -\left\lfloor \frac{1}{2}(1) \right\rfloor = -\lfloor 0.5 \rfloor = -0 = 0 $
✔ So $ x = 1 $ is a solution.
Are there others?
Try $ y = 0.7 $: $ x = 1.4 $, LHS: $ 2 - 2(1.4) = 2 - 2.8 = -0.8 $, RHS: $ -\lfloor 0.7 \rfloor = -0 = 0 $ → no
Try $ y = 1.2 $: $ x = 2.4 $, LHS: $ 2 - 4.8 = -2.8 $, RHS: $ -\lfloor 1.2 \rfloor = -1 $ → no
Try $ y = 1.5 $: $ x = 3 $, LHS: $ 2 - 6 = -4 $, RHS: $ -\lfloor 1.5 \rfloor = -1 $ → no
Try $ y = 0.2 $: $ x = 0.4 $, LHS: $ 2 - 0.8 = 1.2 $, RHS: $ -\lfloor 0.2 \rfloor = 0 $ → no
Seems only $ x = 1 $ works.
✔ Solution: $ x = 1 $
---
$$
|-2| + x = 0
$$
$ |-2| = 2 $, so:
$$
2 + x = 0 \Rightarrow x = -2
$$
✔ Solution: $ x = -2 $
---
$$
\left|\frac{1}{2}x - 2\right| = 2
$$
Absolute value equation: two cases.
Case 1: $ \frac{1}{2}x - 2 = 2 $
$$
\frac{1}{2}x = 4 \Rightarrow x = 8
$$
Case 2: $ \frac{1}{2}x - 2 = -2 $
$$
\frac{1}{2}x = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0
$$
✔ Solutions: $ x = 0 $ or $ x = 8 $
---
$$
\left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}\right)x = 2
$$
Compute $ \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 - 2}{6} = \frac{1}{6} $
So:
$$
\frac{1}{6}x = 2 \Rightarrow x = 12
$$
✔ Solution: $ x = 12 $
---
$$
\sqrt{2x - 1} = 2
$$
Square both sides:
$$
2x - 1 = 4 \Rightarrow 2x = 5 \Rightarrow x = \frac{5}{2}
$$
Check: $ \sqrt{2 \cdot \frac{5}{2} - 1} = \sqrt{5 - 1} = \sqrt{4} = 2 $ ✔
✔ Solution: $ x = \frac{5}{2} $
---

10. $ \sqrt{2x - 1} = 2 $
Let's solve each equation step by step and explain the solution.

Equation 1:
$$
(x - 2) + (3x - 4)
$$
This is not an equation (no equals sign), so it's likely an expression to simplify:
$$
x - 2 + 3x - 4 = 4x - 6
$$
✔ Simplified form: $ 4x - 6 $
---
Equation 2:
$$
2x - \frac{1}{3} = x - \frac{1}{6}
$$
Subtract $ x $ from both sides:
$$
x - \frac{1}{3} = -\frac{1}{6}
$$
Add $ \frac{1}{3} $ to both sides:
$$
x = -\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{3} = -\frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{6}
$$
✔ Solution: $ x = \frac{1}{6} $
---
Equation 3:
$$
\left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4}\right)x = 2
$$
Simplify inside the parentheses:
$$
\left(\frac{2}{4} - \frac{1}{4}\right)x = \frac{1}{4}x = 2
$$
Multiply both sides by 4:
$$
x = 8
$$
✔ Solution: $ x = 8 $
---
Equation 4:
$$
x - 4 = \frac{x}{3}
$$
Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate denominator:
$$
3x - 12 = x
$$
Subtract $ x $ from both sides:
$$
2x - 12 = 0 \Rightarrow 2x = 12 \Rightarrow x = 6
$$
✔ Solution: $ x = 6 $
---
Equation 5:
$$
x^2 + (-1) = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 - 1 = 0
$$
Factor:
$$
(x - 1)(x + 1) = 0
$$
So:
$$
x = 1 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -1
$$
✔ Solutions: $ x = \pm 1 $
---
Equation 6:
$$
2(1 - x) = -\left[\frac{1}{2}x\right]
$$
First, expand the left side:
$$
2 - 2x = -\left[\frac{1}{2}x\right]
$$

$$
Let $ y = \frac{1}{2}x $, so $ x = 2y $, then:
$$
2 - 4y = -\lfloor y \rfloor
$$
Try small values for $ y $:
- If $ y = 0 $: $ 2 - 0 = 2 $, RHS = $ -0 = 0 $ → no
- $ y = 1 $: $ 2 - 4 = -2 $, RHS = $ -1 $ → no
- $ y = 0.5 $: $ 2 - 2 = 0 $, $ \lfloor 0.5 \rfloor = 0 $, RHS = 0 → YES!
So $ y = 0.5 \Rightarrow x = 1 $
Check: $ x = 1 $
Left: $ 2(1 - 1) = 0 $
Right: $ -\left\lfloor \frac{1}{2}(1) \right\rfloor = -\lfloor 0.5 \rfloor = -0 = 0 $
✔ So $ x = 1 $ is a solution.
Are there others?
Try $ y = 0.7 $: $ x = 1.4 $, LHS: $ 2 - 2(1.4) = 2 - 2.8 = -0.8 $, RHS: $ -\lfloor 0.7 \rfloor = -0 = 0 $ → no
Try $ y = 1.2 $: $ x = 2.4 $, LHS: $ 2 - 4.8 = -2.8 $, RHS: $ -\lfloor 1.2 \rfloor = -1 $ → no
Try $ y = 1.5 $: $ x = 3 $, LHS: $ 2 - 6 = -4 $, RHS: $ -\lfloor 1.5 \rfloor = -1 $ → no
Try $ y = 0.2 $: $ x = 0.4 $, LHS: $ 2 - 0.8 = 1.2 $, RHS: $ -\lfloor 0.2 \rfloor = 0 $ → no
Seems only $ x = 1 $ works.
✔ Solution: $ x = 1 $
---
Equation 7:
$$
|-2| + x = 0
$$
$ |-2| = 2 $, so:
$$
2 + x = 0 \Rightarrow x = -2
$$
✔ Solution: $ x = -2 $
---
Equation 8:
$$
\left|\frac{1}{2}x - 2\right| = 2
$$
Absolute value equation: two cases.
Case 1: $ \frac{1}{2}x - 2 = 2 $
$$
\frac{1}{2}x = 4 \Rightarrow x = 8
$$
Case 2: $ \frac{1}{2}x - 2 = -2 $
$$
\frac{1}{2}x = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0
$$
✔ Solutions: $ x = 0 $ or $ x = 8 $
---
Equation 9:
$$
\left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}\right)x = 2
$$
Compute $ \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 - 2}{6} = \frac{1}{6} $
So:
$$
\frac{1}{6}x = 2 \Rightarrow x = 12
$$
✔ Solution: $ x = 12 $
---
Equation 10:
$$
\sqrt{2x - 1} = 2
$$
Square both sides:
$$
2x - 1 = 4 \Rightarrow 2x = 5 \Rightarrow x = \frac{5}{2}
$$
Check: $ \sqrt{2 \cdot \frac{5}{2} - 1} = \sqrt{5 - 1} = \sqrt{4} = 2 $ ✔
✔ Solution: $ x = \frac{5}{2} $
---
