right thats what i said
OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):
You can't solve for x because there is nothing on the other side of the equal sign.
OpenStudy (turingtest):
all you can do is write
x+18-3=x+15
no solving possible
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh the rest o f the question is the expression is equal to which choice?
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
ahh

the choices are x= 5 x=-15 x=15 5/7
OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):
So it wants you to simplify.
Simplify = re-arrange the variables
Solve = Find the value of a given variable
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
this is simplifying not solving
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
confusion reigns!!!!!

x=-15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok this is the question x+18-3= The expression is equal to which choice? A. x=5 B. x=-15 C. x=15 D. 5/7
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
really the question should have read x + 18 - 3 = 0, solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no its nothing o on the = side
OpenStudy (turingtest):
cwrw's answer is the only one that I can see easily. If those are your options above I'd go with that.
