Question

whats up everyone?

Answer 1

Random chatting.

Answer 2

yep

Answer 3

i need help with math please
5p− 14=8p+ 4

Answer 4

Oh yeahhhhhhh

Answer 5

5p− 14=8p+ 4
-5p -5p

-14 = 3p + 4
-4 -4

-18 = 3p
/3 /3

p = -6

Answer 6

thank you :)

Answer 7

i need help this another problem

Answer 8

p− 4=−9+p

Answer 9

sorry to bother you=

Answer 10

There is no solution for that problem,

Answer 11

and dont worry about thats why im here

Answer 12

there is no solution to that problem.
it's like sayin 6=9

Answer 13

no solution? what u mean?
is this goin to be a undefined answer?

Answer 14

because p cancels out, so therefore nothing can equal p making it no solution

Answer 15

how would i write that down though?

Answer 16

p - 4 = -9 + p
Dude you have to get the p's all in one side, so subtract p from each side to remove it from the right.

p - 4 - p = -9 + p - p

-4 = -9

All the p's are gone and you're left with a this false statement. Thats why there is no solution.

Answer 17

just write "since p cancels out, therefore their is no solution."

Answer 18

yeah what he said.

Answer 19

oh gotchya i get it now

Answer 20

so for this -8=-(x+4) is really like this 8=-x+4 right?
& I must subtract 4 from both sides?

Answer 21

you have to distribute the negative:
-8=--x-4

you would add 4

Answer 22

i have to add 4 to both sides?

Answer 23

yes because you are distributing the negative to both x and 4

Answer 24

oh ok so then? now i add 4 to both sides now/

Answer 25

the answer is x=-12?

Answer 26

yes that is correct

Answer 27

yay

Answer 28

hold on -12 isnt right, my bad i meant the add four to both side

Answer 29

ok show me what you get after you add 4

Answer 30

-8=-x-4
+4 +4

-4 = -x
/-1 /-1

x=4

Answer 31

i did add for to both sides

Answer 32

oh oops=/

Answer 33

Thats how it should look like, its ok you had the idea so you were on the right track

Answer 34

kay thanks im gettin it lil by lil

Answer 35

i got stuck on this problem.... 12=-4(-6x-3)
is this the next step? 12=24x-3

Answer 36

than i add 3 to both sides?

Answer 37

Awesome, ok remember distribute -4 to both -6x and -3

Answer 38

okay 24x-3

Answer 39

12=-4(-6x-3)

12 = 24x + 12 (distribute -4 to both -6x and -3)

Answer 40

ohhh oops i forgot

Answer 41

24=24x?

Answer 42

x=1?

Answer 43

No you have to subtract 12 from each side
12 = 24x + 12
-12 -12
0 = 24x

Answer 44

oh=/

Answer 45

then what do you do next?

Answer 46

i'm confused

Answer 47

sorry

Answer 48

-(7-4x)=9

Answer 49

ok well you have to distribute the negative to both terms in the parentheses.

Answer 50

-7-4x=9

Answer 51

than add 7 to both sides?

Answer 52

no -4x is a positive since 2 negatives make a positive.
-7+4x=9

Answer 53

so -4x=16
/4 /4
x=4?

Answer 54

The answer is correct :) , but your -4x is suppose to be positive

Answer 55

yes i changed my mistake thanks

Answer 56

So many replies to this thread!!!!

Answer 57

-18-6k=6(1+3k)
-18-6k=6+18k?

Answer 58

& thank what after

ok yes you have distributed it correctly, now you have to combine like terms, do you know how to do that?

Answer 60

sorta not really

Answer 61

let us show you

Answer 62

okay

Answer 63

-18-6k=6+18k

you have to get the numbers WITHOUT the variables onto one side of the equation and the variables on the opposite side of the equation

this is the next step right? -18 -16k=6+18k

Answer 82

ok yes that is correct :)

Answer 83

wat do i do nxt

Answer 84

but the -16 on the left shouldnt change, it should still be -6 still

Answer 85

oo

Answer 86

so 18-6k=6+18k

Answer 87

but now you put the numbers without variables on one side and the ones with variables on the opposite side of the constants (numbers without variables).

Answer 88

oh so how?

Answer 89

18+6=6k+18k?

Answer 90

i have to turn this wrksheet it be4 1:00=/

Answer 91

ok well
18-6k=6+18k

you have to make all the variables of k go to one side, you can either add -6k to 18k on the right side, or you can subtract 18k from -6k on the left side.

Answer 92

ok? i did

Answer 93

ok look at the equation
18-6k=6+18k

you have to make all the variables of k go to one side, you can either add -6k to 18k on the right side, or you can subtract 18k from -6k on the left side.

Answer 94

k=2?

Answer 95

No, show me your work, so i can see what you did

Answer 96

ughh:( i give up

Answer 97
