3d+4=2+3d-1/2

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

Did you ever solve that other problem? There was no solution for k.

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

In this one, let's combine like terms on both sides of the equal sign before continuing.

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

Or, again, you can just subtract 3d on both sides.

i realldont know what im doing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you there

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like i don get it

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

One side has 3d,right?

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

The other side also has 3d.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya what bout the 1/2

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

No matter what you do, they will have to be subtracted from each other. Example: x+2= x+3 subtract x on both and you get 2=3 2 does not equal 3 so there is no solution for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that the answer

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

No. It was an example. In your problem: 3d+4=2+3d-1/2 We need to subtract 3d on each side. 4=2-1/2 Does 4 =2-1/2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont 1/2 = 3

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

How can 4 be equal to 2 - 1/2

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

is 2-1/2 the same as writing 4? No. So then there is no solution for D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thnak you man so that the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

If you end up with (constant 1 ) = (constant 2) then there is no solution. If you get (constant 1) = (constant 1) then there are infinite answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you man can you still help me with some more qeustion

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

Close this one and post them as another one.
