-10p+9p=12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add like terms on the left hand side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p= -12

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

so -19/-19 = 12/-19 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9-10 = ?

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-10 + 9 = ?

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

-19

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nopes its the same as 9 -10

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yaaa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-10p+9p = (-10 + 9 ) p take the "p" as common

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

got it thanks. 30= -5(6n+6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5(6n+6) = -5 * (6n+6) = -5*6(n+1)

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

couldnt i just distribute the properties: -5(6n) + -5(6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

surely, its upto u, just do it the easy for u but never to violate mathematics rules

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

so it endd up being -30n + -30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a little more work, shift -30 to other side .... u have to solve it for n

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

wat du yhu mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look the question says find n right ? if yes , u have to seperate n on one side and the rest on other side

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

so -30+-30 = 30?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nopes dear -30n + -30 = 30 n shud be there too now use maths operations to find n

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

dats wat i wrote but aanyways so n= 30

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nopes, u try not to distribute -5 , taking common is better becoz u r simplifying steps, u try that way u will get -2

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

but my answer is suppose to equal 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u shud write the question as it is and specify the requirements too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30= -5(6n+6) answer is n=-2

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

ohhhhh duhh

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

im suppose to show my work though how do i do that not trying to abuse of your confidence but dats why im asking cuz i need help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

leme try one and rest u shud do ur self, u r supposed to read the properties and do excercise then there will b no problem for u at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30= -5(6n+6) = -5 * 6 (n+1) = -30 (n+1) now divide both sides by -30 u get -1 = n+1 now subtract 1 from both sides u get -1 -1 = n n = ? is the answer

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

thanks so much can yhu help me on anymore?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yaa but hints

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

kay

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

37= -3 + 5(x+6) 5(x) + 5(6) 5x + 30, so far so good?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

continue

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

37= -3 + 35x +3 -3 40 + 35x, so far so good?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm u shud use the operation in proper way then u wont stuck at all leme do a little for u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

37= -3 + 5(x+6) add 3 to both sides 40 = 5(x+6) now do what u doing

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

5(x) + 5(6) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yaa

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

40= 5x + 30, good?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r u done

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

40= 5x + 30 -30 -30 10 = 5x x=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

congratssss :)

OpenStudy (paystub-2):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

welcome fellow now i have to leave BEST OF LUCK
