ok hmmm.
1. 5y - 3 + 3 = y + 4(y-2)
OpenStudy (sandra):
2. 5y = y + 4y - 8 + 3
OpenStudy (sandra):
(sorry missed the +3 on the right side first line)
OpenStudy (sandra):
5y - 3 = y + 4y - 8
OpenStudy (sandra):
ugh
1. 5y - 3 = 7 + 4y - 8

OpenStudy (sandra):
5y -3 + 3 = 7 + 4y -8 +3
OpenStudy (sandra):
5y = 2 + 4y
OpenStudy (sandra):
5y - 4y = 3 + 4y - 4y
OpenStudy (sandra):
*2
OpenStudy (sandra):
y = 2

thank u !!!!!!! lol now let me see if i can do it
OpenStudy (sandra):
heh np, sorry, I was sloppy, this step: 5y - 4y = 3 + 4y - 4y should have had a 2 instead of the 2, not sure how I hit 3

write an equivalent decimal for 0.4
OpenStudy (sandra):
ok so for an equivalent to .4:
OpenStudy (sandra):
you can always multipel a number by 1 to get an equivalent form of the original number, that is, number x 1 = the original number - but it just looks different

OpenStudy (sandra):
so we want to get rid of the decimal point in .4
OpenStudy (sandra):
so let's multiply it by 10/10 (which is 1)
OpenStudy (sandra):
so .4/1 x 10/10 = 4 x10/1 x 10 = 4/10
OpenStudy (sandra):
so 4/10 is an equivalent fraction to .4
OpenStudy (sandra):
now if you want an equivalent decimal

OpenStudy (sandra):
you can just add a .0
OpenStudy (sandra):
so .4 = 4 tenths
OpenStudy (sandra):
it also equals 4 tenths AND 0 hundredths
OpenStudy (sandra):
so .40 is equivalent
OpenStudy (sandra):
it also equals 4 tenths, 0 hundredths, and 0 thousandths

OpenStudy (sandra):
so .4 = .40 = .400
OpenStudy (sandra):
does that make sense? do you have any other questions?
OpenStudy (sandra):
cmfb - if you want to walk through another one I'm game

OpenStudy (sandra):
now the question is, how much is 1/5?
OpenStudy (sandra):
so decimals can also be looked at as fractions, specifically, how many out of some power of 10 (depending on the number of decimals you're going after)
OpenStudy (sandra):
after all, we know that 3/10 is .3
OpenStudy (sandra):
because we can just move the decimal one to the left when we're dividing by 10
OpenStudy (sandra):
so 6 1/5 = 6. + whatever 1/5 is if the denominator is some power of 10

OpenStudy (sandra):
so 1/5 = 1/5 * 2/2 (again, multiplying by 1 always gets you the same thing) = 1*2/5*2 = 2/10
OpenStudy (sandra):
2/10 means you can move the decimal to the left for the top number (one spot in this case)
OpenStudy (sandra):
so 1/5 = 2/10 = .2
OpenStudy (sandra):
and so 6 1/5 = 6.2
