Question

who ever can help me answer the question down below gets medal!

Answer 1

x=63

Answer 2

multiply through by -7
so 77 = x + 14 then subtract both sides by 14
-14 -14
so x = 77 - 14 = ?

Answer 3

wait what did u do the first step or?

Answer 4

jikanwahayaine can you explain?

Answer 5

You could do this two possible ways. The way i'd suggest starts with you moving the "-2" to the opposite side first. And how do we do that?

Answer 6

oh crap wait i typed the probelm wrong

Answer 7

\[-11=\frac{ x }{ -7 }-3\]

Answer 8

I multiplied through by -7
so x/(-7) times -7 = x
-11 times -7 = 77
and -3 times -7 = 21
so 77 = x + 21 then subtract both sides by 21
-21 -21
so x = 77 - 21 = ?

Answer 9

It's not much different, so firstly, what is the opposite of subtracting? (as the 3 is being presently)?

Answer 10

add the 3 to -11?

Answer 11

Correct! So, from our former extensive lesson on removing the bottom of problems like these, how do we move the -7 to the left side?

Answer 12

-8=-7?

Answer 13

How did we remove the 8 from the denominator in the previous problem?

Answer 14

oh yea so -7+ -11

Answer 15

No, think about it, in the last question, we had something over 8 on the right side. How did we remove the 8 from the bottom? Did we multiply, divide, add, or subtract?

Answer 16

oh wait multiply

Answer 17

Yes! So, now, when our denominator is -7, how do we remove it from the bottom of the right side?

Answer 18

-11 x -7

Answer 19

Correct! Now restate the equation!

Answer 20

77=-3

Answer 21

How'd you get that? Didn't you put the quantity of -11x-7 on the left? And where did the -3 on the right come from?

Answer 22

i got 77 but i dont know how to put it

Answer 23

Oh, I'm sorry, you're correct about where the 77 went. It should have gone on the left side, so good job there, but what about the randomly appearing -3?

Answer 24

well we didnt do anything with the -3 at the end of the problem right?

Answer 25

wait yes we did never mind is it 77=x?

Answer 26

Correct. Your answer is 77. :D

Answer 27

oh yay i have a worksheet that im trying to get done i have 6 left and i keep asking them cause its the first one ive done just so im making sure i do them right

Answer 28

That's fine. Anymore you need help/confirmation on?

Answer 29

yes lol

Answer 30

Then ask away!

Answer 31

And if you ever feel confidant, tell me, and try to complete it, and I'll check your answer, or however far you got.

Answer 32

ok the problem is \[-5=\frac{ x }{ 11 }-2\]

Answer 33

and i got -33=x

Answer 34

Correct!

Answer 35

Next? :)

Answer 36

next is 28 = -2x +4 and i think you subtract the 4 from both sides

Answer 37

Yes indeed!

Answer 38

And final answer?

Answer 39

-12=x

Answer 40

Yes again!

Answer 41

greattt!

Answer 42

72+2x=9x-103 is next one but im not sure how to start it

Answer 43

No problem. Just take it one step at a time. First move the "-103" to the right side, and move the "2x" to the right side. I say this because by doing this, you can keep negatives out of the final steps to solve, and it just makes it simpler.

Answer 44

So, restate your equation after you do those two steps.

Answer 45

isnt it minus 103 tho?

Answer 46

Well, yes. When I say move it, I assume that you know to add it to each side to do the following: a) You cancel it out on the left side, and b) you add it to the right side.

Answer 47

oh so 175=2x=9x

Answer 48

Yep. Now move the 2x to the right. And you get?

Answer 49

175=11x?

Answer 50

No, you should have subtracted the 2x, not added it. And since I've got to go for now, finish it up, but you should get that x=25. If you have any more, message me, and I'll help when I return in a couple of hours, ok?

Answer 51

okkk thanks for all the help tho!

Answer 52

Alright, any more, lady Katie?

Answer 53

nope ive got it all finished :D but i might be back tomorrow!
