Some One Help? http://prntscr.com/386ik8

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Start by multiplying both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction. What do you get?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

On the right side, 4 * 4 is not equal to 8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops my bad, its 16

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Great. Ok, so what do you get now with the right side corrected?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1(2x-14)=16

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok. Since 1 times any number equals that number, you don't need to write the 1, so we can simplify this equation to 2x - 14 = 16 Now since we want to solve for x, we want to isolate x. First, we add 14 to both sides.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Can you do that and show what you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x=30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i divide by 2 and get x= 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct.
