Question

3l+y=5+5l solve for l. More insight on that, please?

Answer 1

l. this means the absolute value of the number as in 3 is the absolute value +y=5+5 as in 3+y=5+5 simply just simplify those i do think thats it unless thats a L

Answer 2

sorry i should've clarify that it's a literal equation the "l" are L's

Answer 3

I'm thinking is a letter "l"

Answer 4

oh okay haha thanks well so its 3L+y=5+5L all you need to do is get the same variables on the same side as in 3L-3L+y=5+5L-3L
which is y=2L+5

Answer 5

you have to isolate the value make y alone do you get what im trying to say ?

Answer 6

*variable

Answer 7

then what else you do is you want to get L alone right ?

Answer 8

y=2L+5
what do you think you do next ?

Answer 9

yea but is was to solve for L. I got L=5-y/-2

Answer 10

\[l=\frac{ 5-y }{ -2 }\]

Answer 11

good now you have your answer

Answer 12

but wait where did you get -2 ?

Answer 13

i meant over 3

Answer 14

over -3

Answer 15

no you were correct the first time as 2 because if you dont remember what we did before was we subtracted 5L-3L which is 2 so the answer would end up being L=5-y/2

Answer 16

not a negative

Answer 17

do you get it now ?

Answer 18
