Let’s solve each equation one by one. We’ll isolate the variable (the letter) on one side of the equals sign.
---
1. x + 4 = 20
Subtract 4 from both sides:
x = 20 - 4
x = 16
---
2. 14 = m + 10
Subtract 10 from both sides:
14 - 10 = m
m = 4
---
3. y - 12 = 10
Add 12 to both sides:
y = 10 + 12
y = 22
---
4. 18 = c - 20
Add 20 to both sides:
18 + 20 = c
c = 38
---
5. 6y = 36
Divide both sides by 6:
y = 36 ÷ 6
y = 6
---
6. 45 = 5t
Divide both sides by 5:
t = 45 ÷ 5
t = 9
---
7. x/5 = 10
Multiply both sides by 5:
x = 10 × 5
x = 50
---
8. 3 = v/5
Multiply both sides by 5:
v = 3 × 5
v = 15
---
9. 18 = 9c
Divide both sides by 9:
c = 18 ÷ 9
c = 2
---
10. 5x = 50
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 50 ÷ 5
x = 10
---
Final Answer:
1. x = 16
2. m = 4
3. y = 22
4. c = 38
5. y = 6
6. t = 9
7. x = 50
8. v = 15
9. c = 2
10. x = 10
