OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok but i need help

OpenStudy (amistre64):

an answer alone will not be helpful; learning how to get an answer will tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay sorry im just really behined in my online school and i am too ashamed to ask my teacher for help

OpenStudy (amistre64):

8n-(-2)/7=6 first you should multiply both sides by 7 ; what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on i need paper

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the reason im multiplying by 7 is to get rid of that fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay but what sides to i multiply both sides by?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the = sign splits the equation into a balance of left and right sides

OpenStudy (amistre64):

to keep that balance, whatever we do to one side, has to be done to the other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so 7 times 8n and 6

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is that 7 just under the 2 part? or is it under the 8n--2 part as a whole?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well it looks like this 8n-(-2)
