Answer 2

Dido, your answer is wildly wrong.

Answer 3

I know. I just realized that.

Answer 4

Don't give the answer Dido. Let her see how to solve it.

Answer 5

Fine.

Answer 6

no i dont know much about it :(

Answer 7

Well try to distribute using the distributive property.

Answer 8

And then simplify both sides.

Answer 9

Well after distributing you get 6x+24=8x-16 .

Can you go from there?

Answer 10

can you just tell me answer lol

Answer 11

pweez :3

Answer 12

You have to do some of you math homework. Just try it out. It gets easier with practice, but harder if others do it for you.

Answer 13

i got 30x=-8
so then i divided and came to -3.75 i know thats wrong thats why i need some help with it :c

Answer 14

When you distribute, you should get 6x + 24 = 8x - 16

You can add 16 to both sides of the equation ( cancels out the -16 on the right side)

Answer 15

i subtracted 8 from both sides though

Answer 16

oh i see

Answer 17

Tell me what you get after that step.

Answer 18

-10+24=8x is that right

Answer 19

You cant add 16 + 6x

You need to set it up as so:

6x + 24 +16 = 8x -16+16

combine like terms and you should come up with 6x + 40 = 8x (the -16+16 = 0)(24 +16 = 40)

Now you tell me the next step.

Answer 20

what do i do about the 0 do i add the 0 or just leave the 0 out and put 8x
