v-e+f=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

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
