Answer 1

start by multiplying (2x + 2) by 1/2

Answer 2

@blurbendy I got

Answer 3

you multiplied by 5, not 1/2

1/2 = 0.5, not 5

Answer 4

just take have of 2x and half of 2

Answer 5

ohhhh I fixed it and got x+1 @blurbendy

Answer 6

okay, now multiply (3x and -1) by -1/4

Answer 7

ok i don't know how to do that i put it in a calculator and got 1/4 (3x+1) @blurbendy

Answer 8

-1/4 * 3x = -3/4x

-1/4 * 1 = -1/4

Answer 9

so you have x + 1 -3/4x - 1/4
= -3/4x + x -1/4 + 1

Combine like terms

Answer 10

x+1-3/4x + x -1/4 + 1

Answer 11

@blurbendy

Answer 12

what is (-3/4x + x) ?

Answer 13

i have no idea im confused now im just rying to find out what x is @blurbendy

Answer 14

multiply by 4 on both sides and then solve brackets using distributive property.

Answer 15

you don't solve for x yet. just ask yourself what is (-3/4 + 1) ?

Answer 16

1/4 @blurbendy

Answer 17

good, so you have 1/4x + (-1/4 + 1)

what is (-1/4 + 1) ?

Answer 18

3/4 @blurbendy

Answer 19

\[4*\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\left( 2x+2 \right)-4*\frac{ 1 }{4 }\left( 3x-1 \right)=4*15\]
2(2x+2)-(3x-1)=60
4x+4-3x+1=60
solve it.

Answer 20

okay, so you have 1/4x + 3/4 = 15
subtract 3/4 from both sides

what is 15 - 3/4?

Answer 21

57/4 @blurbendy

Answer 22

that or 3 @blurbendy

Answer 23

okay so you have

1/4x = 57/4

multiply both sides by 4

what is 57/4 * 4 ?

Answer 24

4 @blurbendy

Answer 25

messed up our math somewhere, it should be 55/4 *4, x = 55

Answer 26

ok now I'm really confused 1/4 x equals 4 and 4*4 is 16

Answer 27

x+5=60
x=60-5=55
