Don't worry we all hate decimals :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm curious. How did you get A exactly? @Ariarose

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was doing quiet a few things, I started over a couple of times, I started multiplying 5.5 by 3.6 then i divided and then i realized that that wasn't right then i started doing it a different way, so I just wen't with 15.3..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh well you want to get x by itself so in order to do that you have to do the opposite of what is on your left side. I'm not sure if that was clear enough but do you get it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah that actually makes a lot of sense now that I think about it :) Thank you :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yw :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You'll get the hang of it...just have to practice a lot :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
