oh sorry i was taught how to do it that way
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so would it be positive 6
OpenStudy (smokeysthename):
12+1/1-3
13/-2
you can't have a negative in the denominator so you have to multiply top and bottom by -1
you would get -13/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh i see thank you
OpenStudy (smokeysthename):
BUT -13/2 is not an answer choice so somewhere they messed up

no its 6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because 1 - a which is 3 is 2
2b is 2 times 6 which is 12
divided by 1 makes it still 12
and u divide it and it would be 6
OpenStudy (smokeysthename):
how is it 6?
2(6)+1/1-3
2*6 = 12
12+1=13
13/1-3
13/-2
OpenStudy (smokeysthename):
if a is 3
1-3 would be NEGATIVE 2
that's just the denominator.
the numerator is 2b+c
b=6 c=1
2*6 = 12
12+1 = 13
13/-2
