6p=-18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p = -18/6 = -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p-6 = -18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u divide both sides of the equation by 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p= -3??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6p/ 6 = -18/ 6 so p = -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok saw ther question again, jimmy is doing it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry i missed that second equation p - 6 = -18 add 6 to both sides p = -18 + 6 = -12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p = -12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

w/6 = -18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide both by 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

w = -18*6 = -108

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply by 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no multiply both by 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah im getting it!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so w = -108

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see you have to use opposite operations if it is addition, use its opposite subtraction if it is subtraction, use addition if it is multiplication, use division if it is division, use multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4=q = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and remember to do the operation on both sides of the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two '=' ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4 + q = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok - what should we do to both sides ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide by 3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by - 3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no- we are adding 3/4 so we need to ------?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide by -3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check harhirats advice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the opposite of add?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but before you said add why is it different that is what is confusing me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry if i confused you - what i meant was 3/4 is being added to both sides so we need to subtract 3/4 from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4 + q = 1 3/4 + q - 3/4 = 1 - 3/4 q = 1 - 3/4 q = 1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fractions r a bit different but ill get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correction 3/4 is being added to ONE side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its still 1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8b=-44

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yes - the correction is to what i said in the statement previous to the solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8b = -44 here b is being multiplied by -8 so we ------- both sides by -8 - fill in the blank

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you still there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide right???????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that is right...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is. -6
