Question

-4(x + 10)-6x= -3(x - 2)-5

Answer 1

Alright, so we need to remember PEDMAS

Answer 2

And the Order of Operations

Answer 3

Right? :)

Answer 4

So, -4(x + 10)-6x= -3(x - 2)-5 , what we would do first is the Parenthesis

Answer 5

-4(x+10)= -4x+-40

Answer 6

and 3(x-2)= 3x -6

Answer 7

So, now our equation looks like this: -4x -40 -6x = 3x-6 x 5

Answer 8

im still confused

Answer 9

Ok, hold on one sec, k?

Answer 10

ok thanks

Answer 11

Ok, so now we have -4x -40 -6x = 3x-6 x 5

Answer 12

So, we need to get the variable isolated

Answer 13

ok what does that mean lolol soory

Answer 14

haha, it means we need to get X on one side and the numbers on the other

Answer 15

We can combine some like terms here, so you see where? Hint: like terms are like 3x - 5x or 4+6 ;)

Answer 16

okay so how would I do that? ;)

Answer 17

Do you know how to add like terms?

Answer 18

no im in 7th grd this is practice for hs

Answer 19

Oh, ok :) Alright.

Answer 20

-4x -40 -6x = 3x-6 x 5 OR we could write it as: -4x -6x -40 = 3x -6 x 5

Answer 21

what is 3x - 6 x 5? It would be 3x -30 right?

Answer 22

YEAH I somewhat get it

Answer 23

Alright so on one side we have -4x -6x -40 and on the other we have 3x - 30

Answer 24

@marichuiolopez do you want to do the rest, or do you want me to keep working thorugh it?

Answer 25

can I get the rest please

Answer 26

Alright, no problem :)

Answer 27

thank you!

Answer 28

So, -4x -6x -40. Well, lets combine like terms, so -4x -6x = -10x so now we have -10x -40

Answer 29

Now our equation is: -10x - 40 = -3x -30

Answer 30

We want to have a positive variable, so we are going to add -3x to -10x

Answer 31

So, now we have: -7x -40 = -30

Answer 32

lets add -40 to -30

Answer 33

now we have -7x= 10

Answer 34

we are going to divide both sides by -7, so the answer is 10/-7

Answer 35

Make sense? :)

Answer 36

oh ok thanks for everything(:

Answer 37

Haha, no problem :)
