HELP ? please
x=20/3
A.–5 B.5 C.7 D.–7 these are my only options though
You need to multiply everything by 5 and then you will get whole numbers, After you can move all the numbers to the right side, Then you can combine the two x values by adding them up, Then you can divide by the multiplier of x to get your answer.
So four steps. and it is not 20/3
i don't get it :/
Well type out what you have now, 5/3*x-5+x-4 = -1
And you are trying to get x all alone.
So the easiest thing to do is to move all the constants over to the other side.
So you have 5/3x which is a constant divided by a constant times a vairable which comes out to be a variable, and x is a variable so you keep those two on the left side
Then you add 5 to both sides which cancels out the -5 And you add 4 to both sides which cancels out the -4
i got it :p haha .. thanks!
:D yay!
