Solve for?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x
Parth (parthkohli):
Subtract 4t from both sides... that's it!
Parth (parthkohli):
What you do in solving for a variable is that you get the variable by itself, okay?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
here we have two variables, so we NEED at least 2 equations to solve this system... but if your just wanting to solve for x then it would be x=4-4t

and so how do i solve this one? 2x-2=t+6
Parth (parthkohli):
For \(x\)? You have to add 2 to both sides, then divide both by 2.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so this is what it looks like after adding 2 to both sides. 2x= t+8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
put t=0 then solve.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
like, what do you mean t=0?

x+4*0=4
x=4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, kinda confused now.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the problem was 2x-2=t+6, i added 2 to both sides and got 2x=t+6 what happens next?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
value of x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea, im looking for the value of x.

2x-2=t+6
2x-2+2=t+6+2
2x=t+6+2
x=(t+6+2)/2
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
you can simplify further
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, thank you so much!!!! :)
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
what your simplified solution for x?
