Question

Find the values of x and y?

Answer 1

@theEric

Answer 2

I see!

Answer 3

This one's really confusing!

Answer 4

Well, x I'm sure you have a hold of ;)

Answer 5

x is 112?

Answer 6

or ahh idk (/.\) im sorry lol D:

Answer 7

Not quite! Haha, it's cool. Learning is hard and it stinks sometimes (because you get stuff wrong) but that's learning.

Answer 8

Think bigger, first. Specifically angles! What we learned last problem is similar, actually. I won't say it outright. Might help your memory if I hold my tongue.

Answer 9

Its the same on both sides? So 7x + 7 has to equal the same as the other side

Answer 10

Exactly! That 112 there. So that's a good place to start.

Answer 11

So 112 minus 7 is 15, since we're going to have to add seven, so it's 15 times whatever plus 7 is 112?

Answer 12

seven times* ahh i confused myself nevermind .-.

Answer 13

I didn't quite follow, sorry! I got a little lost. I'll fix your typo quick :P 112-7=105! Unles your zero key is broken. That would stink.

Answer 14

It's tough! I told you! I find it tough! That's why I try to help when I can. I know it stinks.

Answer 15

Yes forgot the zero haha. So x is 15. How do i find y?

Answer 16

y would be 17?

Answer 17

:P

Answer 18

Yeah, I think x is 15, too!

Not y, though!

Answer 19

y is 17 :P

Answer 20

No!
Y is right!
why'd I say no!
I'm dumb!

Answer 21

Haha, I calculated the same thing and said no. I look at y= and thought I saw something else.

Answer 22

So yeah, you're right. :) Congrats!

Answer 23

Not dumb if you figured this out cause I couldn't! lol. so y is 17 then, right? its x = 15 and y = 17 for the answer?

Answer 24

Yeah, those are the answers I got.
Thanks!
But you DID figure out y.

Answer 25

ok ^.^ thanks for helping me! I also have a proof I can't seem to solve if you can help with that too if it doesnt take too much of your time o.o

Answer 26

Nope! I'm not too busy. Proofs aren't my specialty, but I might be able to help! You can tag me again!

Answer 27

This one probably isn't too hard, I'm probably just overthinking it, it wants me to identify the property that comes with the step so I'll just draw it :P

Answer 28

Okay! Hopefully I know the properties.... Can I make some up? :P

Answer 29

the fraction didn't work!! lol oops ._. it's x/6. and i can name them

Answer 30

It's either a. given b. multiplication property of equality or d. addition property of equality for the step x/6 + 2 = 15 -> x = 78

Answer 31

c not d. ahh i cannot type.

Answer 32

Okay.. hmm.. Only one stetp to get there? I would take a couple or more. I would subtract two from both sides and the multiply both sides by 6. But also solve. So maybe these properties are more in-depth than I'd think. Or can you use more tha one? Haha! Small typo.

Answer 33

nope you just answered it! it was multiplication haha yeah i typed it confusing im sorry

Answer 34

thanks for helping ! :P

Answer 35

Oh, okay! :) Well, we got it right!

Answer 36

Yep!

Answer 37

My pleasure! Take care!

Answer 38

You too!

Answer 39

Thank you!
