I'm going to upload it now

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Please tell me you can do number 1. :D

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

\[\Large 4w - 2 = 6w - 12\] You have your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No I cant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Okay. This is how you do it: Identify two kinds of terms: one with variables, the other without. For this example: \[\Large \color{red}{4w}\color{green}{-2}=\color{red}{6w}\color{green}{-12} \]

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

You follow?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im doing it in a paper

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Bring ALL the terms WITH variables to one side, and all the terms without variables to the OTHER side.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait let me try....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12-2=6w+4w?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Please do ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It should be .

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

No... Why did -12 become 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought when you transposed both sides then the signs would change...

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

That's right. So why is 4w still positive? :P

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

I can't stress this enough... be VERY CAREFUL with signs :) Every time a term switches sides on the equation, its sign CHANGES, ok? :)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

dotdotdot

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

@EngrChong Stay with me o.O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, mom was using this laptop sorry

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Oh ok. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not going to sleep tonight just for tomorrow

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

I'll try to stay awake for you, but even I can do only so much haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No Terenz if you want to sleep just tell me

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Well, I do, but not now, I'm not yet sleepy :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what's next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know what's next after that....

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

12 - 2 = 6w - 4w simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10=2w

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Very good. Can you do it from here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

w=5

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Awesome :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you seen the file i sent you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Check your phone hahah

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yes, I have. You're so paranoid, lol, you sent it twice and even sent me snapshots on viber... chill ^^

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Let's do number 3.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Then I need to sleep...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why you dont know number 2...?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

number 2 doesn't make sense to me, there are three equal-signs haha

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

sorry.... 2 equal-signs. there should be only one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Really?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe its supposed to be minus...

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

I don't like maybe's :P Make sure :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was just given to us by our professor in schoology.com

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Hang on...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its ok if you need to talk to your special someone.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Let's do this : \[\Large – 3(z + 2) = 5z =2(2z – 5) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's that?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

crap...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dude go take a rest.......You must be tired.....I'll ask someone to help out.....

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

No, it's not me, OS is not working well for me right now...
