I need help with a 2 step equation. [x+4]/2=7
is the first step [x+4]/2*2=7*2, and the second x+4-4=14-4, so x=10?
exactly...you are correct
Wow, that was fast XD
alright, i have another to ask. yet i have no clue how to solve
1/3[2x-8]=4
do you want to solve it or get two step explanation on how to solve?
I want an explanation on how, yet i would like to try to calculate it on my own
I just dont know how to solve [the order of it and some other things]
ok Step 1 multiply both sides by 3 Step2 add 8 to both sides Step 3 divide both sides by 2
oh, so i made a mistake. I thought that you multiply both sides by 1/3
no...because you want to remove the denominator
x + 4 = 7 x 2 x + 4 = 14 x = 14 - 4 x = 10
alright step 1: 1/3*3[2x-8]=4*3 2x-8=12
step 2: 2x-8+8=12+8 2x=20
thats right
step 3: 2x/2=20/2 x=10
well thats all, folks -porky pig
