Ok. I need to write 2 equations. They both need a variable on each side of the equal sign. They also need to have either multiplication or division and addition or subtraction. The first equation needs to equal 8 when solved. The second equation needs to equal -2 when solved. Please help, I don't get it!

Question

parthkohli · Answer

The most basic form of both of these:
$$\LARGE1)  x+4 = 12$$
$$\LARGE 2) x + 4 = 2$$

parthkohli · Answer

Can I explain more or that's enough?

anonymous · Answer

I don't get that, actually. :T

parthkohli · Answer

Do you know how to solve equations?

anonymous · Answer

The basic ones, yes. But were working on the equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign, and that just confuses me.

parthkohli · Answer

Let me put variables on both sides, then do it.

anonymous · Answer

Oh wait, I see how you do the equations you posted before. I just don't know if my teacher'll take it because it doesn't have multiplication or division and addition or subtraction.

parthkohli · Answer

Wait, it does. Look closely.

parthkohli · Answer

$$\LARGE 1st => 2x - 2 = x + 6 $$
$$\LARGE 2nd=>  2x - 2 = x - 4 $$

Ok thank you, sorry I couldn't reply earlier, my keyboard wasn't working then I had to go to school.
