9/2(x+28). solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats what its asking
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i need help understanding how to solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
use cross-multiplication
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what?

\[\frac{ 9 }{ 2(x+28) } = \frac{ 9 }{ 2X+56 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9 = a *2(x + 28)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then leave x on one side and the rest on the other side and that's how you solve for x, i think ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Why did you put ''a'' in their?? @kx2bay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im still not understanding?

i didnt
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats part of the question
hero (hero):
\[A = \frac{9}{2(x + 28)}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That's the same thing I just put?
hero (hero):
To solve for x, you have to isolate x

I would first re-write it as
\[2(x + 28) = \frac{9}{A}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so \[a=9 \over 2x+56?\]
hero (hero):
Then divide both sides by 2
Finally subtract 28 from both sides.
hero (hero):
@kryoWolf...no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no?

hmm
hero (hero):
I've never seen a fraction written with the equal sign in it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i didnt know how not to put it like that in the equation like that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@Hero how would \[9 \over A\] being divided by 2 look like?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait \[\frac{ x }{ 2 } +14=\frac{ 9 }{ A } \div 2?\]

The 2 was already on the left side when you divided it out. You're misinterpreting what it means to divide that side by 2.
hero (hero):
The right side is correct.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
hero (hero):
Here's what dividing both sides by 2 looks like:
\(\dfrac{2(x + 28)}{2} = \dfrac{9}{2A}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so \[x=\frac{ 9 }{ A }\div2-28?\]

oh
hero (hero):
The 2's cancel on the left leaving just:
\(x + 28 = \dfrac{9}{2A}\)
hero (hero):
Now subtract 28 from both sides to get:
\(x = \dfrac{9}{2A} - 28\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
hero (hero):
So now, let A = 135, then calculate the value of \(x\)
