@nphuongsun93

Answer 7

no if you divide you have to divide everything (-24x, 18, 4x, -10)

bring the x (-24x and 4x) to one side and the numbers (18, -10) to the other side by +, -

Answer 8

so i just subtract the 4x then? @nphuongsun93

sorry thanks for your patience

Answer 9

haha np
-24x+18 = 4x-10

and yes, do subtract 4x both sides

Answer 10

thank you! @nphuongsun93
