x = 18x + 28 (over)2(x + 14)

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

x=-7 or 2

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

:) Did this help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but which one is it

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

x has two values

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

what math are you taking?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its -7

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

okay. so 2 an extraneous solution.

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

you should still include that in your answer.

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

i just checked again and 2 works out as well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its an online test i got it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

no problem. what math are you in? alg 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alg1 why

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

just curious cuz i need help on a problem. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have alg2

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

yea that is the math that i am taking now.

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

thanks for fanning me!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np and thats cool

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

yea. it is also kinda hard. i would just say to really remember and understnad everything that you are doing this year in alg1 bucause it all comes back to you in alg2 just a little harder. lol. can you figure out this problem? i was thinking to complete the square. do you think you can anwer it? whats the value of y in:3y^2-6y+2=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope sorry never learned that yet but do you know how to answer x=18x + 40 over 2(x + 10)

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

x =-5 or x=4

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

I'm not sure I've seen a problem statement.

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

wild you know what a problme statemnent is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

okay same! lol

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

"x = 18x + 28 (over)2(x + 14)" This doesn't mean anything. It's just an equation. Are we supposed to do something? Are there any instructions? A problem statement of some sort. Waht is to be done?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh solve for x

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

sorry about the confusion tkhunny. i didnt mean to be rude

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

That, along with the equation, is a Problem Statement. \(x = \dfrac{18x+28}{2(x+14)}\) Absolutely first, write down \(x \ne -14\). You tell me why.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind thanks for the help anyways
