Question

Solve Equations

Answer 1

Go on - Try solving It - I will be here to correct you If you make any mistakes :)

Answer 2

Follow @charlotte123's method from the last question. Plug in choices!

Answer 3

^ Yes!

Answer 4

ok so i plug in for x first right

Answer 5

Yes! I will give you a start :) Try plugging -2 (Your first choice) for x In the Equations

Answer 6

im going to use your method

Answer 7

@Starr_DynastyT Good! :D

Answer 8

Plug in any value for x into both equations and see which gives you the same answer i.e 4 = 4 or 7 = 7

Answer 9

^ Exactly!

Answer 10

so i got 0.5 for -1/4time -2

Answer 11

which subtracting 2 gave me 2

Answer 12

Try again :) Remember -1/4 = -0.25! @Starr_DynastyT

Answer 13

so would it equal B -7 right

Answer 14

Nope - Try again :) You can do It! @Starr_DynastyT

Answer 15

Psst try 4

Answer 16

@tHe_FiZiCx99 SHHHHH

Answer 17

I'm sowwie

Answer 18

Oh Dear D:

Answer 19

Though he was lost >.>

Answer 20

Thought*

Answer 21

@tHe_FiZiCx99 Now you suffer - EXPLAIN WHY THE ANSWER IS 4 OR GET MOLDY CAKE!

Answer 22

*cracks fingers* f(4) = -1/4 -> -0.25(4) - 2 = -3

g(4) = 4 - 7 = -3

-3 = -3

Yish yish sweg

Answer 23

Oh man D:

Answer 24

He's afk..? *-*

Answer 26

Instead of guessing randomly.
You are given:
f(x) = g(x)

\[\huge -\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x - 2 = x-7\]
\[\huge 5 = \frac{ 5 }{ 4 }x\]
cross multiply..
\[\huge 5 = \frac{ 5x }{ 4 }\]
\[\huge 5x = 20\]
\[\huge x = 4\]

Answer 27

...Who guessed?!

Answer 28

^ LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Answer 29

Replacing > Guessing

Answer 30

I didn't guess, I did the math.. you nub.. could've been wrong tho.. mental math lol >.<

Answer 31

LOL

Answer 32

You are guessing with the numbers from the answer choices..
Guessing: Estimate or suppose (something) without sufficient information to be sure of being correct.

Answer 33

Do the work, and be sure instead. Saves time.

Answer 34

sorry my laptop went dead

Answer 35

That was Charlotte's method >.< .. yes I could've just just done that I guess

Answer 36

Guessing - I guess you have 3 apples behind your back - Not knowing how many you have
You have a chance of being Incorrect
Replacing - When you take something out of Data/Information and place It for the stuff you are given -
You at least get a correct answer by doing this - Especially when you have a handy dandy Calculator :)

Answer 37

@tHe_FiZiCx99 I love my method - For It Is fun and easy
And you get Cake when you are Correct!

Answer 38

^^

Answer 39

Now excuse me - I have a test to use my skills on

Answer 40

Replacing? sure you are replacing the values of x given, but you do NOT KNOW if that number is the correct solution, therefore guessing...

Your method is useless when you are given a free response question, it is better to know how to do the problem... instead of just substituting...

Answer 41

^ LOL wtf

Answer 42

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Answer 43

@shamil98 \(\huge\color{black}{\frak{Your~Argument~Is~Invalid~Sir}}\)

Answer 45

@tHe_FiZiCx99 His argument Is Invalid and his skills are Irrelevant >:D

Answer 46

Peanut head =_=

Answer 47

Char lol wuuut? @shamil98 this is what I was talkin' bout, http://openstudy.com/users/%E2%99%A5lila%E2%99%A5#/updates/52b47f2ae4b02932bbbf760c

Answer 48

Answer 51

@tHe_FiZiCx99 LOLLLLLLLLLLLL

Answer 52

they deleted their responses to mine D:< .. I was right U_U

Answer 53

In Math you work with the method you are most comfortable with - As long as It Is a valid one :) That way you never end up hating the Subject LOL

Answer 54
