(4x + 10)/2 - 4 = 24
@andriod09
I'm sorry that was the wrong equation. (4x + 10)/2 – 4 = 22
are you trying to solve for x?
yes i am
we could start by removing the -4 on the left side by adding +4 on both sides and that gives you (4x+10) / 2 = 22 + 4
now to remove the 2 on the bottom you can cross multiply or just multiply both sides by 2 and that gives you 4x + 10 = 52
okay, so then i would subtract 10 from both sides?
yes
so hen 4x = 42 divide both sides by 4 and I get 10.5?
yes that's correct
6x/3 - 16 = 6 can you help me with this one?
@JAMG
always start by moving the ones that are by themselves so lets add +16 to both sides
this is what I have so far: 6x/3 - 16 = 6 add 16 to both sides 6x/3 = 22 what do i do from there?
ok that's correct you have to options you can cross multiply the 3 or you can divide the 6 by 3
if you cross multiply you get 6x = 66 divide by 3 you get 2x = 22 both get you the same answer
so x = 11
correct
can you help me with one more?
sure
A weather satellite is carrying meteorological equipment to chart hurricane activity over the course of a year. The equipment weighs 4,800 newtons (N) on the ground. If the weight of a mass at 19,778 km from Earth’s center is only 10% of the weight of the mass on Earth, how much will the weather equipment weigh when the satellite is in space, 19,788 km from Earth’s center? Calculate your answer: i'm doing all of this for earth science unfortunately:/
since you have the equipment at 19778 km from earth center then the weight its only 10% , so what is 10% of 4800 Newtons
4800/10?
you can do an equation also so 100 % = 4800 10% = ??
480?
that's correct
okay cool! thank you
np always happy to help
