OpenStudy (anonymous):

heyyyyyyy

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Im here for just a bit. Im online frm my czn's home!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help me with a couple probs I need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so no?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Sure. i can try.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

some.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Identify the equations as a conditional equation, a contradiction, or an identity. Then describe the solution . 7x+3=6(x-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant tell u abt the earlier part but on solving x=-15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

though if u'l explain me a little abt equation (conditional n all) i can do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no i dea though thats why im im on here asking thank you so much though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help me with these?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the solution if possible? wttf does that mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would say its conditional. There is only one value of x that makes those equal. otherwise they arent equal.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

LoL, same. No idea.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

joe math can u expln me abt conditional equation n all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know for sure, but this is what i think. we have this statement: \[7x+3=6(x-2)\] Now we have to ask ourselves, are these two things (the left and right hand sides) always equal for every value of x? or is there some condition that must be met for them to be equal? or are they never equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if we have one condition that makes it conditional right?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

if u can wait till tmmrw, i might help./

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We see that they arent equal for every value of x. We could plug in 0 to check that: \[7(0)+3 = 6(0-2) \Rightarrow 3 =-12\] which is false. So it cant be the identity. an example of an identity would be something like: \[2(x+1) = 2x+2\] Those are equal for all values of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats right ishaan, since we figured out that if x = -15, the two sides were equal, its conditional

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks joemath

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw, the title of this thread makes me think of this lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRnSnfiUI54
