Worked examples

Real problems from the practice worksheets, solved one step at a time.

1. Example 1

   Solve: 3x = 36

   1. Divide both sides by 3: x = 36 ÷ 3 = 12.
   2. Check: 3 × 12 = 36 ✓ So x = 12.

   Answer: 12

2. Example 2

   Solve: 7m = 28

   1. Divide both sides by 7: m = 28 ÷ 7 = 4.
   2. Check: 7 × 4 = 28 ✓ So m = 4.

   Answer: 4

3. Example 3

   Solve: 10n = 50

   1. Divide both sides by 10: n = 50 ÷ 10 = 5.
   2. Check: 10 × 5 = 50 ✓ So n = 5.
