@PatrickJordon work it out step by step I want to see it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh great thnx -_-
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
mmhhmm now start typing
I'll start you off
Y=KXZ
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ugh.
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
what you doing you started perfect

then got a big number 325, then what = WRONG
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
okay type the equation i gave you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Y=KXZ
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well we do know y F***
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
what variables do you know substitute them in the EXACT place they are

33=K*16*22
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
good know what do you do
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
*now
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(16(22)=352
K=352
OpenStudy (anonymous):
33= 352*16*22

do not mess with 33 so lets start over from the beginning
33=k(9)(12)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-_-
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
come on you can do it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
33=108*9*12
Doubtful
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
no you got 33=108 perfect but you keep forgetting the variable K.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ehm, isnt 108 k
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
no its x and z combined so 108 is xz not k
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so Divide 108 by 33
OpenStudy (anonymous):
To get, "k"
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
perfect yes but first let me see you equation now that you know that 108 it is xz

OpenStudy (anonymous):
33=k(108xz)
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
make sure your answer is a fraction once you have divided
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
33=108k that is what your equation should look like
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 36 }{ 11 }\]
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
other way around

OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 11 }{ 36 }\]
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
perfect so know that we know what k is we fill it in as y= \[y=\frac{ 11 }{ 36 }xz\]what do you do next to get y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you get rid of xz dunno
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
no it starts with sub
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Substitution :/

Subtract
Subway
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
the first one substitute the variables x and z with 9 and 12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ughhh.
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
come on you almost done
OpenStudy (anonymous):
"Almost"

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
this is your last step if you follow the directions i just gave youthen multiply the all up and that is your Y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just 108,, dunno :/
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
okay \[y=\frac{ 11 }{ 36 }*16*12\] you should get a fraction
OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):
and what does Subway have to do with math
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i was trying to be funny :P
