Math Problem Statement

The user submitted a matching activity involving solving linear equations for the variable x.

Solution

The uploaded images seem to contain a set of algebraic equations and a matching activity based on those equations, along with some instructions. Here's a breakdown of what I can see:

Image 1:

It appears to be a matching activity involving equations. There are algebraic equations on the left side, and on the right side are simplified forms or solutions of those equations. The equations involve solving for the variable xx. An arrow points from left to right, suggesting that the left-hand side equations should be matched to their corresponding solutions on the right.

The second image contains the instructions for the activity:

  1. Each equation should be paired with its solution by cutting and pasting them together.
  2. After solving the equation, the pieces need to be matched by their answer.
  3. It includes an example where the equation 3x+1=73x + 1 = 7 is shown being solved to x=2x = 2.

It seems to be a hands-on learning activity for solving and matching linear equations.

Equations from the First Image:

Here’s a quick transcription of the equations from the first image:

  1. 6x12=06x - 12 = 0
  2. 5x=45 - x = 4
  3. 3x+1=73x + 1 = 7
  4. 9x3=69x - 3 = 6
  5. 4+2x=104 + 2x = 10
  6. x+5=9x + 5 = 9
  7. 3x4=53x - 4 = 5
  8. 7x1=67x - 1 = 6
  9. 7+x=107 + x = 10

On the right side, the matching solutions appear as:

  • x=2x = 2
  • x=0x = 0
  • x=1x = 1
  • x=4x = 4
  • x=3x = 3
  • x=1x = 1
  • x=1x = -1
  • x=7x = 7
  • x=3x = 3

How to Solve:

Each equation on the left can be solved to find the value of xx, and then that value will correspond to one of the solutions on the right side. For example:

  • 6x12=06x - 12 = 0 leads to 6x=126x = 12, so x=2x = 2.

Would you like to proceed with solving these equations and matching them, or do you have a specific question about the activity?


Here are five related questions for further exploration:

  1. How do you solve simple linear equations such as 3x+1=73x + 1 = 7?
  2. Why is it important to isolate the variable when solving equations?
  3. What strategies can be used for solving more complex algebraic equations?
  4. Can you explain how inverse operations are used in solving equations?
  5. How does distributing work in equations like 2(3x+1)=142(3x + 1) = 14?

Tip: Always check your solution by substituting the value of xx back into the original equation to ensure it balances correctly.
