Term:

9x = 12

x/6 = 8

x/2 = 20

8x = 12
----------------
Definition:

4x = 6

x/8 = 5

x/12 = 4

3x = 4

-----
your suppose to match and I need help. Can you also explain if you help me?

Answer 1

solve for x

Answer 2

@notsmartatall yea I know but like ive been learning this stuff in school but never like this so this is hard for me. I dont understand I need someone to help

Answer 3

@hartnn @Hero PLease help me

Answer 4

Do you understand how to solve for a specific variable?

for example \[ \frac{ x }{ 6 } = 8\] how would we isolate the x?

Answer 5

@bibby by doing its oppisite operation which is multiplying

Answer 6

Exactly. You'd do something similar for each of these.
If we multiply we get x = 6 * 8 = 48

Now can you get x/12 = 4?

Answer 7

@bibby 48 because I multiplied

Answer 8

Congrats. We found a match. 6 more equations and we've got ourselves a correct answer

Answer 9

@bibby yea but I have to match it which the other equation which I dont understand how to do

Answer 10

All you can really do at this point (I think) is solve each one and then match them after the solving is done.

For example, x/2=20 and x/8 = 5. You won't know they're matches until you solve but after that you can say they match

Answer 11

@bibby OH! I get it so if the othe equation equals the same thing they match.

Answer 12

Exactly :) It's just pattern matching.
Do you want to go through the problems and have me make sure it's right?
