Question

I give medals!!! Please help, simple 2 step equations!

Answer 1

3/5 = 1/5x - 2/5

Answer 2

hi

Answer 3

Hi

Answer 4

can you help?

Answer 5

ima look

Answer 6

if you want to get rid of the fractions, multiply the entire equation by 5

Answer 7

Yes I know that..

Answer 8

yay have kellie help he/she is great r u a he or she

Answer 9

i say girl

Answer 10

3 = 1x - 2

Answer 11

3/5 = 1/5x - 2/5 (multiply by 5)
3 = x - 2 (add 2 to each side)
3 + 2 = x
5 = x

Answer 12

Can you explain it to me though? I don't understand how to do it.

Answer 13

or...
3/5 = 1/5x - 2/5 (add 2/5 to each side)
3/5 + 2/5 = 1/5x
5/5 = 1/5x (divide by 1/5)
(5/5)/(1/5) = x
5/5 * 5/1 = x
25/5 = x
5 = x

and yes... I am a girl

Answer 14

you want me to shoe you the multiplying by 5 part ?

Answer 15

No, I just need to know how to figure it out, like step by step explaination.

Answer 16

What do I do first to figure it out?

Answer 17

are you wanting to deal with the fractions, or get rid of the fractions ??

Answer 18

Deal with fractions, I don't mind them.

Answer 19

Becuzz I know how to get rid of them too. So yeah.

Answer 20

if you look at what I posted above, I did it without fractions and with fractions. Check it out and if you have any questions, just ask

Answer 21

Ugh, fine. I just need an example: lIKE, STEP 1, DO THIUS, THEN STEP TWO..

Answer 22

Ugh sorry I hate CAPS, lol

Answer 23

give me a problem and I will explain step by step, or do you just want me to use the same problem ?

Answer 24

The same problem is fine.

Answer 25

3/5 = 1/5x - 2/5
STEP ONE : you want to get the x terms on one side, so we need to add 2/5
3/5 + 2/5 = 1/5x - 2/5 + 2/5 (as you can see, the 2/5 cancel each other out on the right side)
STEP TWO : combine like terms
5/5 = 1/5x (to get x by itself we have to divide by 1/5)
(5/5)/(1/5) = (1/5x)/(1/5) -- 1/5x divided by 1/5 = 1x
so we are left with : (5/5)/(1/5) = x
STEP THREE : divide the fractions...when dividing fractions, you " flip " what you are dividing by, then multiply
(5/5) / (1/5) = x
5/5 * 5/1 = x
25/5 = x
5 = x

does that help ?

Answer 26

Yes it totally does yay! Okay so I gave a medal and I am a fan. :D

Answer 27

glad I could help :)

Answer 28

Thanks, bye.
