x+3/30=8/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you solving for X?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok here i wil show u how:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know all the steps but when i get the final answer it always tells me im wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will* Ok so first you would - 3/30 to the other side so then your equation would be x = -3/30 + 8/10 so you have to change the denominator of 8/10 so multiply times 3 = x = -3/30 + 24/30 = 21/30 x = 21/30 is that what you got? (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[8/10 = 24/30\]\[\implies x +3/30 = 24/30\]\[\implies x = (24-3)/30 = 21/30 = 7/10\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You might need to reduce the fraction to get credit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh i forgot to simplify (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya i got it thanks guys

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Weeeelccccooommmeeeee!!! (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be easier if you simplified 3/30 first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure, that's also an option and requires fewer steps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ya, but i dont think they teach you to do that at that age

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well if you can simplify 21/30 to 7/10 you can simplify 3/30 to 1/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha true (:
