16.01=n+20.88

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n = 16.01 - 20.88 = -4.87

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i subtracted 20.88 from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im still having a hard time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's n=4.87

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah - did i push you too hard yesterday?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nooooo I need this..... If it wasen't for people like you I wouldnt be here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thaank you......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did i mention that an equation is like a chemical balance ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it might help - it does with some people.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-23=k+11 i would subtract 23 from both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no - u subtract 11 from both sides - the aim is to get k only on one side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmm ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so only iff there is a varable then you subtract that one and if its negative you do positive and visa versa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k=-34

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would I show work just show im subtracting 11from both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go to discus other questions not easier ,, regards

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first deal with the side with the variable - in this case 11 is added to k - so you need to subtract 11. also subtract from other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-23-11 = k + 11 - 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so b+ 1/4 = -3/8 so be= 1/8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean b=1/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol damn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b + 1/4 - 1/4 = -3/8 - 1/4 b = -5/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look like u have fraction problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SORRY u are wrong jimmyrep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

iam joking lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

comon dude bounce!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b= - 5/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r-12=13 subtract 12 from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add 12 to both side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no to get r u need to add because it is r subtract 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because its subtraction right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do the opposite to whatever is done on the variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r=25?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

examples x - 7 u add 7 x + 3 u subtract 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer this roseanne; 12+r = 3 -r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r=-9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r= - 9|2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

over 2? why????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no - there are 3 steps here add r to both sides then subtract 12 from both sides to give 2r = -9 then divide both sides by 2 r = -9/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/11=z+3/11 z= 4/11????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeahhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first put all variables in one side but note that any variable move from side to other must change its signal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4.1=-3.5+n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12+r=3-r r+r=3-12 2r=-9 r=-9\2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n=-0.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 3.5 from both sides that other n kind of threw me off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4.1=-3.5+n add 3.5 to bs -4.1 + 3.5 = n n = -0.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean the +n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3.5 + n = n - 3.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol - what i should say is -3.5 + n is identical to n - 3.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it 0.6 or 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm afraid we are confusing roseanne no roseanne the answer is -0.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

roseanne if u have more questions contact with me feel free

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so why should I subtract the number from the same number if its going to cancel out why just not do it from the other number to get a straight answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes you can do that no problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+5=6 so x= 1 , check the answer always by substitute in the equation
