Answer 22

@okay @barbiejazzybabii - what is x + 2x?

Answer 23

oh it means duhhhh! haha not everyone is as smart as u.......ya @Diyadiya

Answer 24

@barbiejazzybabii no offences there, take your own time :)

Answer 25

You have algebra1?

Answer 26

@apoorvk ......2x?
.............idk cuz theres only one number,,,what plus two times what?..........doesnt really make sense.........idk im going to be a junior..im in summer school with pre algebra STILL

Answer 27

im very good at english and spelling and grammar.........math is just not my thing at all.

Answer 28

Ok

x+2x =3x (its x is considered as 1x so 1x + 2x =3x)

But, You can't add 1 + 2x

so what is 2x -x = ?

Answer 29

x + 2x
= x(1 + 2)
= x ( 3)
= 3x


so it's 3x basically, do you understand how?

(Don't fret, don't get unnerved, stay cool, and go through this whole post again if you need)

Answer 30

k im starting to get it........the x serves as a one

Answer 31

\(x\) is same as \(1x\) or \( 1 \times x =1x =x \) :)

so tell me what is 2x -x = ?

Answer 32

1x?

Answer 33

Yes! that's right! :)

1 more example

what is

3x - 4x +2 = ?

Answer 34

7x+2=9x?

Answer 35

Nope! that's where you're going wrong you can't add constants & variables together

here 2 is a constant and a number with variable such as x, y ,a ,b ,c etc are variables

so 3x -4x +2 = -x + 2

understood?

another example
7y - 2y +4 +3 = ?

Answer 36

any doubts? My explanations are not really good ^_^

Answer 37

Not good? yes. Actually, Brilliant!

Wish I could learn the virtue of patience from you Diya.

Answer 38

Answer 40

xD

Answer 41

i forgot "No Offence" :D

Btw @barbiejazzybabii What happened?

Answer 42

@barbiejazzybabii please don't faint! *mumbles imaginary prayers*. :P

Answer 43

oh oops sorry

Answer 44

Please do read my above post ^_^

Answer 45

ahh whatever ill just get it wrong its confusing

Answer 46

No, you won't be able to do the other problems if you don't understand this

just remember you can't add constants and variables together

like 2x +3 is equal 2x+3 (you can't add them as 5x )

but 2x + 3x = 5x

so can you tell me what is

7x + 2x +9 = ?

Answer 47

5x+9
-5x-5
4x

Answer 48

x=4???

Answer 49

Nooo!
i'm just telling you to add them you can't find x because you don't have anything on the other side of equal to sign!

7x + 2x =9x

so 7x + 2x +9 = 9x + 9

Answer 50

just tell me what is 3x + 5x = ?

Answer 51

8x
