plz assist in solving
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
what variable are you solving for?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
solving for V E and F v-e+f=2
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
well lets solve fot v first
v-e+f=2
add e to both sides and take f from both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
plz show answer step by step, many thanks

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
v-e+f+e-f = 2+e-f
... = ....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if we substitute 1/2 (half) - so we get 2 on both sides of equation, is that also correct, plz advise
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
there will be no substitution in this question
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
after you have got
v-e+f+e-f = 2+e-f
you just need to simplify the lefthandside
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, simplify left hand side for me plz, and i can see final answer
thank you, appreciate it

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
you can do it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im clueless, i just wanted to see the answer step by step
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
v-e+f+e-f
if you rearrange this
you can get
v+(f-f) +(e-e)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok thank you appreciate it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
v-e+f+e-f = 2+e-f
v+(f-f) +(e-e) = 2+e-f
is this the final answer

tell me what those terms in the brackets simplify to --
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im clueless, i have no idea, thats why i need help in this
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
ok we will look at one set of brackets at a time
can you simplify
f-f
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
(imagine that f is some number)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f-f to me means nothing or zero

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
right f-f=0
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
and (e-e) = ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
e-e is also 0 to my knowledge - zero
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
that is right
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
so what is v+(f-f) +(e-e)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
V+0 + 0 = V
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
correct
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
the reason that we added e to both sides and took f from both sides was to get the left hand side to cancel to just leave us with v=
OpenStudy (anonymous):
v-e+f+e-f = 2+e-f
v+(f-f) +(e-e) = 2+e-f
is this the final answer
so V=2
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
hmm not quite

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 2=2
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
Let's start again,
v-e+f = 2
what do you get when to add e to both sides of the equation
and takeaway f from both side of the the equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
we left with a V
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
yes, the lefthand side of the equation is simply v, but what is the right hand side of the equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2+e-f

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
so you have shown \[v=2+e-f\large\color{red}\checkmark\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok, that is the final answer, thanks so much, now i understand, thanks you
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
now lets solve for e
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i know the answers thanks
OpenStudy (anonymous):
e=2-f-v

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
not quite
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f=2+e-v
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
you have got f right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
e=2+f-v
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
If we start from the original equation
v-e+f=2
add e to both sides and take away 2 from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):
v+f-2=0+e
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
right , now just simplify the right hand side
