Question

4(p-10+8=-10 identify as a conditional a condratiction or a identity.

Answer 1

4(p-1)+8=-10

Answer 2

hey your back can u help me again

Answer 3

What do you get when you simplify the equation?

Answer 4

its the second one not the first one

Answer 5

Yeah, I figured.

Answer 6

So distribute the 4, and isolate your variable (if possible).
What have ya got?

Answer 7

use the disturbutive property...

Answer 8

?

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

4*p 4*1?

Answer 11

4(p-1) = 4p - 4

So..

\(4(p-1) + 8 =-10\)
\[\implies 4p - 4 + 8 = -10\]

Then we can combine the -4 and the +8

Answer 12

ok.

Answer 13

So what do you have now?

Answer 14

-4

Answer 15

Please write the whole thing.

Answer 16

4p-4=-8

Answer 17

?

Answer 18

That -8 should be a -10

Answer 19

Otherwise, yes. That's correct.

So now we can either keep simplifying it, or you can see if you can tell yet. Is this equation: Always true? Always false? Or does it depend on the variables?

Answer 20

can we keep simplyfying it im still alittle lost

Answer 21

I don't know.

Answer 22

Sure, that's fine.

Answer 23

Where did you feel like you got lost?

Answer 24

why was it -10?

Answer 25

Because we didn't change that side from the original equation.

Answer 26

You had
\[4(p-1) + 8 = -10\]
After you distribute you have:
\[4p-4 + 8 = -10\]
Then you combine the +8 and the -4 and you get:
\[4p - 4 = -10\]

Then you can add 4 to both sides:
4p - 4 = -10
+ 4 + 4
------------
4p = -6

Answer 27

so its conditional

Answer 28

It is! Nicely done.

Answer 29

thanx to you11111!!!!!! now you have to teach me the solving part its really hard to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 30

thanx to you11111!!!!!! now you have to teach me the solving part its really hard to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 31

Ok, I'm happy to help you practice if you like.

Answer 32

If you like you can email me and we can arrange a time to practice solving/simplifying equations. Online whiteboards tend to work a bit better than this interface.
