HOW do you solve - x = 200?

Divide both sides by -1.

To multiply or divide fractions, you (do ... or do not) need common denominators. Pick the correct word or words from the parenthesis.

Do not

True or False (circle one): To solve - x = 7, you could also divide both sides by -x.

FALSE. Divide both sides by -1.

True or False. The variable x, by itself, is the same thing as 1.

False

True or False: The work shown below (to solve the equation x + 20 = 40) is shown correctly. x + 20 = 40 -20 -20 -20 x = 20

False

True or False (circle one): To solve 5/6x = 25 in Mrs. Satterlee's Pre-Algebra class, you have been expected to show work by dividing both sides by 5/6.

False. Multiply by the reciprocal of 5/6 instead of dividing by 5/6. In other words, multiply both sides by 6/5.

Why is the equation racecar = racecar also an example of the reflexive property?

It is exactly the same on both sides.

Why is the equation racecar = racecar an example of the symmetric property?

It is the same forward and backward.

Why would the following answer be marked wrong? How should it be written? -1x + 2xy

Just write -x + 2xy

True or False (circle one): Before solving an equation, like - 1,231 - (- x) = 534, the equation should be re-written to get rid of the double-signs.

True

True or False (circle one): When solving 11x = 15, a final answer of 15/11 is more precise than 1.36.

True

True or False: Any variable by itself, like x, has a 1 in front of it even if you don't see the one.

True

True or False. Never leave a lonely one all by itself in the denominator.

True. If all you have in the denominator is a 1, then there is no need to write the expression as a fraction.

To add or subtract fractions, you must make sure they have ___________ ______________ and then work with only the ______________ .

common denominators, numerators

What eight-letter word ends in T and is another name for a number?

constant

To give an example of an expression, you need to make sure and NOT write a(n) ???

equation bar

In the expression 11x + 13 y-squared, the 2 is a(n) _____________ and the 11 & 13 are __________________ .
