PLEASE HELP!
Grade 9 Question: Find the root of each equation using pencil and paper. Check each root.
a.) 1/2 (x+3)=5
b.) b-5/7 =3
c.) 6= 2/3 m-1
d.) -5= 3d+4/3

Answer 1

please don't tell me the answers, I just want to know how to do it, step by step, because I have a math exam tomorrow :)

Answer 2

a.) 1/2 (x+3)=5
multiply both sides by 2
x+3 = 10
now subtract 3 from both sides
x= 7

Answer 3

you understand what i did??

Answer 4

hi sorry

Answer 5

in each equation you have one variable now its you job to separate that variable one one side and put all the constants on other side using maths

Answer 6

?

Answer 7

what happens to the fraction?

Answer 8

look at you question carefully
a.) 1/2 (x+3)=5

Answer 9

you have to find the root for this equation. root means to find such value of x that satisfies this eqquation

Answer 10

oh...i see now

Answer 11

how would you do d?

Answer 12

a.) 1/2 (x+3)=5
now if you multiply both sides by 2 what you get ????

Answer 13

1(x+3)=10

Answer 14

10-3

Answer 15

x=7

Answer 16

exactly you got x= 7 which is the required root for this equation

Answer 17

thanks

Answer 18

to verify this that either your root is correct or incorrect just plug in this value in x in you question and see whether you get LHS = RHS or not
if LHS = RHS then you calculated the correct root else wrong value

Answer 19

ok...

Answer 20

can you do the rest of questions or not???

Answer 21

yea, i think so, thanks

Answer 22

welcomeeeeeeee

Answer 23
