answers
6

−6

All real numbers

No solution

Answer 1

First step is to use the distributive property.

Answer 2

Simplify, with the distributive property.


\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\rightarrow a(x \pm y) = ax \pm ay }\)

Answer 3

or \[\Large \color{midnightblue}{ay \pm ax}\]

Answer 4

so that means that it is 6

Answer 5

is that what you got in your solution?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Tell me how you solved .

Answer 19

*might*

Answer 20

probability dude :p

Answer 21

That's applied math it doesn't count igbiw

Answer 22

From a user's approach, I'd rather flunk on a test than to cheat on it.

Answer 24

OR understand what it actually says.

Answer 25

OR if I don't, then think of the probability :D

Answer 26

yeah taking the probability is MUCH easier than algebra

Answer 27

I can help you @kibrelle

Answer 28

(take the blue pill)

Answer 29

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\rightarrow P(Event) = {\text{Preferred number of outcomes} \over \text{Total number of outcomes}} }\)

Answer 30

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\rightarrow P(Correct) = {1 \over 4} }\)

Answer 31

i dont need help anymore with that one because it is and i know it is NO SOLUTION

Answer 32

How did you get that answer o.O?

Answer 33

How sure are you on a scale from 1 to 10?

Answer 34

@nbouscal He isn't sure how sure he is sure that he surely got the answer correct :/

Answer 35

how sure are you he isn't sure how sure he is sure that he surely got the answer correct?

Answer 36

100% sure that he isn't sure the he got the answer sure correct.

Answer 37

95% of statistics are made up

Answer 39

10

Answer 40

10! Wow, you were sure, weren't you? BTW, 10...apply it to the equation.

Answer 41

\[
−3(x + 3) = −3(x + 1) − 5 \\
-3x -9 = -3x -3 -5\\
-9 = -3-5
9 =8
\]
So no solutions.
