can some one halp me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4x-\frac{ 5 }{ y }=2z\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply through with y to remove fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the kind where what you do to one side you do to the other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. Don't think too much about it. Just multiply everything by y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im getting confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you multiply 4x by y, then the next term. Don't be confused, just multiply by y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea just multiply by y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, scratch that. You just need to solve on x. So don't multiply by y because is not a part of the fraction. Just put the x on one side and everything else on the other side. (Forget what I said about multiply by y, no need for that here.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk so instead of y it would be x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Keep x on the left, put every thing else on the right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but will it look like this x=4-5/y-2z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, the first step would look like this\[4x=\frac{ 5 }{ y }+2z\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk what does the second step look like o ya i just want to say thank you for helping me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to get rid of the 4. Divide everything by 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so it will look like this \[\frac{ x=5/y+2z }{ 4 }\]
