Answer ________

Answer 1

hehe sry im not this far into math :)

Answer 2

what ? @Hero

Answer 3

@Hero i don't get it

Answer 4

i'm confused @BraydonG

Answer 5

@Hero can you help in Part B And Part C

Answer 6

Have you finished Part A yet?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

What did you put for Part A?

Answer 9

distributive

Answer 10

Okay good answer.

Answer 11

Did you attempt Part B? If so, you should post your steps.

Answer 12

no

Answer 13

In Part A, you used the distributive property, so you should have:

x/5 + 2/5 + 2x = 6x - 10

For part B, you're supposed to move all the terms with x to the left side, and all the constant terms to the other side. Can you try doing that please?

Answer 14

2x+6x

Answer 15

Actually you should have

x/5 + 2x - 6x = -10 - 2/5

Answer 16

Notice all the terms with x are on the left side. All the constant terms (those without variables) on the right side.

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

To make things easier, factor out x on the left side, and factor out the negative on the right side:

(1/5 + 2 - 6)x = -(10 + 2/5)

Answer 19

is this part c ? @Hero

Answer 20

Now all you have to do is just add up the numbers for the next step

Answer 21

Part C is to find the value of x

Answer 22

That's what we are doing.

Answer 23

ok @Hero

Answer 24

@Hero

Answer 25

Have you tried adding up the numbers yet?
