Question

Would 2 divided by 2, make it x equals 18 plus minus 1 ?? http://i.imgur.com/DsxtW.png

Answer 1

You're solving for x right?

Answer 2

Yes.

Answer 3

When the plus minus thing is there you form two separate equations and solve for x.
So it would be
x=18+2/2 and x=18-2/2

Solve for x in both

Answer 4

Can you do that?

Answer 5

I don't get it..

Answer 6

You create two separate equations, one using the plus sign, one using the - sign, and then solve both of them for x.

Answer 7

1st one: x=18+2/2
x=20/2
x=10
2nd one: x=18-2/2
x=16/2
x=8

So x=10 and x=8
