Algebra help please?
what is the question??
There is like 8 questions, trying review them with my son. hold on please
what is the value of X in the following equation 230 = X -519 289**** 749 389 739
Happy feet shoes decides to raise its prices for new shoe models. for a partiular pair of shoes the price is increased $37 if the new price is $124 how much did it cost originally? $87 $94 $151 $161***
The first on is incorrect. For find X, you need to isolate it. do that by adding 519 to both sides. then you should have 519+230=x and 519+230=749 so 749=x :)
Okay got it. Can you help with new few please sammy?
Wait is the second one right or wong?
The second one would have to be A-$87. since you have the new price, and it tells you it had been increased by 37, just do the opposite and subtract 37! Then you have your answer. may i ask how you were getting these answers? Lol
My son added 37 to 124 to get the answer
first one: 230+519=x so just add two number so x=749
Okay well for the second one since your trying to figure out what the number was before, the number will be smaller! that will help eliminate answers too. ant other questions? :)
the solution X = 71 is a solution to which of the following equations? check all that apply x-9=80 41=x-30 x+24=95 5=x-76
For that one, go through the answer choices. For answer option A- its saying that X(71)-9 will equal 80. so plug in 71. 71-9 does not equal 80! that is not an option. Option B says that X(71)-30 will be 41..so plug it in! 71-30=41 so that one is correct! Option C says that X(71) plus 24 will be 95. plug it in again! :) 71+24 does equal 95! that is correct Option D says that X(71) minus 76 will be 5. plug it in! 71-76=-5 so that one does not apply.
the solution x = 27 is a solution to which of the following equations x + 14 = 36 x=17=5 x + 24 = 36 x=30= -3
@sammyjpod can u help me?
Sorry i stepped away from the computer! So for that one you would just do the exact same thing! what does he think the answer is?
Hes just not understanding it, is there another way to figure it out? hes just getting upset with himself. im sorry! he has autism!
no thats fine! I wanna try and help him understand it. Take the first option. you have an equation. X+14=36 that is saying that whatever X is(we know its 27!) will be able to combine with 14 and equal 36. first thing he should do is just plug in what you know which is X! that makes the equation look like this. 27+14=36 can he solve it from there? if that is confusing, have him leave the spot where the "36" is blank. that might make it look easier! then he can just solve it. Does this make sense? haha
he said 27 + 17 doesnt equal 36
if you meant 14, that is correct! :) even if it was 17 it doesnt equal 36 either. So yes A is not the answer! tell him to just keep plugging in the X to all the equations and then solve. i need to go do some other work! I hope he figures it out! :)
Its D he said
I cant tell because you wront x=30=-3 so i dont know what was being added or subtracted xD
its x-30= -3
then yes D is correct!
What is the value of x in the following equation 12x=30 5 1/5 72 720
i could tell you the answer but i dont have time to explain in detail! basically you need to isolate X so just divide both sides by 12(right now 12 is being multiplied by x. you need to do the opposite of multiplication) and so you should divide 30 by 12 and get your answer(what x equals) i have to go now! good luck :)
would it be C?
no dividing it would get you 2.5...but thats not a choice.. hmm one second.
are you sure those are the answer choices? cause none of them are the answer! haha
