Question

a(3tx-2b)=c(dx-2) solve equation for x

Answer 1

apply distributive property on both side of the equation... then combine like terms (all terms with x)... can you do it?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

3txa-2ba=dxc-2c i think i did it right

Answer 4

ok continue...

Answer 5

i dont know what else to do

Answer 6

put all terms with x on the left-hand side, others on the right-hand side... you know how to do it? you know how to transpose from one side to the other?

Answer 7

yeah ill try

Answer 8

3txa-dxc=2ba-2c i think its right

Answer 9

ok that's right... this time, factor out x on the left-hand side...

Answer 10

i dont get what you mean

Answer 11

meaning you pull-out x in each term on the left-hand side... for example... mx+nx = x (m+n)...

Answer 12

x2(3ta-dc)=2ba-2c?

Answer 13

where 2 come from on the left-hand side? maybe that is on the right-hand side because it is common to 2ba and -2c...

Answer 14

its suppose to be x squared

Answer 15

you mean the problem goes this way?\[a(3tx^2-2b)=c(dx^2-2)\]

Answer 16

i guess

Answer 17

why guess? don't you have the original question?

Answer 18

yeah but the x are not squared

Answer 19

for the meantime, forget the x squared... if x is not squared...\[x(3ta-cd)=2(ab-c)\]... to solve for x, we cross-multiply, you know how to do it?
