do you have to solve for x?

OpenStudy (shoxa27):

solve these equations for the variables

OpenStudy (shoxa27):

thats the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so you would set it up as x - 1 = 1/4 and 2x + 5 = 1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just solve for x

OpenStudy (shoxa27):

1 sec

OpenStudy (shoxa27):

is it x=2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one is x = 1 1/4

OpenStudy (shoxa27):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you add one to both sides

OpenStudy (shoxa27):

i just need to know the steps because i got final test tomorrow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/4 + 1 = 1 1/4

OpenStudy (shoxa27):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }= 1/4?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on the second one, you subtract 5 from both sides and then multiply by 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you add 1, you get 1 1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, on the first one you would add 1/1 and 4/4 to get 5/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is the same as 1 1/4

OpenStudy (shoxa27):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 1 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 4 }=\frac{ 5 }{ 4 }?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (shoxa27):

now what ?

OpenStudy (shoxa27):
