7w-6w+1=10-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

w = 5

OpenStudy (candyme):

For this problem, you isolate w. First, combine like terms. w+1=6 -1 -1 w = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those equations are very easy why don't you try them by yourself? do you know how to solve them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nooooooooo I need to learn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There really confusing to me for some reason

OpenStudy (candyme):

Roseanne, I had trouble with these too, it really helped to see how the answer was reached, so I tried to show you too. Hope I helped :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u

OpenStudy (candyme):

No problem, let me know if you need any more help with this kind of problem :)

5v-3-4v=13

OpenStudy (candyme):

Start by combining like terms. v-3=13 Cancel out the 3 by adding it +3 +3 Giving you: v=16 Let me know if you need any more :)

-7t+4=-6t

OpenStudy (candyme):

Start by combining like terms: Add the 7t. -7t+4=-6t +7t +7t 4=t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your so helpful thank u sooo much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could it be t = 4?

I'll show you: 7w-6w+1=10-4 First you have to identify the monomials or "terms" (7w)+(-6w)+(1)=(10)+(-4) these terms are the letters and/or numbers that are in between plus signs ( if there is a minus sign put the plus right behind it, and the minus will indicate the term is minor to 0 ) then divide that equation in two parts, the right side (all terms in the right of the "=" sign) and the left side (all terms in the left of the "=" sign), left side (7w)+(-6w)+(1) = (10)+(-4) right side in the left side sum those terms which have the same variable like (7w) and (-6w) see that they both have a "w" along with them. If they have no "w" or any letter aside like (1) you con just sum them like normal operations do the same with the right side, and do not sum left side terms with right side terms, and do not sum terms that have different letters (or sum terms with letter with terms without letter) so you will sum (7w) with (-6w) and you'll get (1w) then you have (1) but it cant be summed with any other term so it just stays there the left side looks like this: (1w) + (1) when you have (1w) you just eliminate the 1 and stick with the (w) alone in the right side sum (10) with (-4) and you get 6 and there is nothing else to do in the right side the right side looks like this: (6) now both sides together look like: (w)+(1) = (6) You are almost finished, when solving an equation the objective is always to isolate the variable, in this case the variable is "w" (the letter). Isolate means having "w" in one side (left or right) and everything else in the other side. (w)+(1) = (6) To this point you have almost everything that is not "w" in the other side the only thing you have in the same side as (w) is that (1) so in order to have the (w) completely alone in its side you have to move the (1) to the other side. Whatever term you move from one side to the other (left to right or right to left) will change its sign to its opposite. The opposite of "+" is "-". the (1) is positive, you move it to the other side and it will become negative (-1) so from (w)+(1) = (6) you do (w) = (6)+(-1) The "w" is now completely isolated, what is next to do is simplify, simplify is the same you did in the first steps, when you simplify you just have to sum the terms that have the same letter. (6)+(-1) simplified is (5) so finally you have (w) = (5) or w=5 and that's it

Yes, as long as your end answer has t=4 it doesn't matter if it is written t=4 or 4=t :) Glad I could help you, let me know if you need anything else.
