\[\color{blue}{\text{Subtract ax both sides}}\]

mathslover (mathslover):

\[\large{\color{blue}{ax+r}=\color{red}{7}}\] \[\large{\color{blue}{ax+r}-\color{red}{ax}=\color{red}{7-ax}}\]

mathslover (mathslover):

Can you tell me what will you get @isolape ?

OpenStudy (isolape):

uhm. i wish i could honestly. but i have no idea how to do any of this.

mathslover (mathslover):

what is 3-3 ? @isolape

OpenStudy (isolape):

dosn't make any sense to me.

OpenStudy (isolape):

0

mathslover (mathslover):

so what will be : ax - ax ?

OpenStudy (isolape):

0...?

mathslover (mathslover):

yes, so we had : ax - r - ax .. can you simplify it now?

OpenStudy (isolape):

Wait so is that the new equation after we -ax on both sides? ax - r - ax

mathslover (mathslover):

yes

mathslover (mathslover):

ax-r-ax = 7 - ax

OpenStudy (isolape):

uhm, do you add ax on both sides now?

mathslover (mathslover):

ax-ax-r=7-ax

mathslover (mathslover):

Now, ax-ax = 0 ax-ax-r = 7-ax => 0 - r = 7-ax correct?

OpenStudy (isolape):

correct

mathslover (mathslover):

so we get r = ax - 7

mathslover (mathslover):

got it?

OpenStudy (isolape):

so thats the answer?

mathslover (mathslover):

yes

OpenStudy (isolape):

alright, i guess i got it. Thanks!
