x+18-3=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18 -3 = 15??

OpenStudy (turingtest):

??? are you supposed to solve for x or...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (turingtest):

but there is nothing on the right side pf the eqn o-0

OpenStudy (turingtest):

of*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

picture of the question?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you
