Good afternoon!
This homework is for all of you to review how to solve one-step equations.
Remember that when solving you must always work with inverse operations and that your goal is to isolate the variable (leave the variable alone).

Solve the equation. Check your answers. (Remember you must always show your work)
a) 27x = 0

b) t/18 = 9

c)105 + r = 105

d) q + 12 = 20

e) x - 32 = 20

f) 20m = 40

g) 9u = 81.9

h) A florist delivers flowers to 12 different people. If each customer pays the same amount and the florist is paid $180 total, how much did each customer pay? Use the equation 12p = 180 where p is the price paid by each person.

i) A mailman delivered 63 pieces of mail to one neighborhood. Each house received 9 pieces of mail. How many houses were in the neighborhood? Write and solve an equation.
