1. If 2x + 30 = 80, then x + 15 = 2. If 3x + 27 = 33, then x + 9 =

OpenStudy (squirrels):

omg nows my time to shine @bibby

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Ok well try to find x first shall we? \[2x + 30 =80\] so lets subtract 30 to both side so we can get 2x by itself

OpenStudy (squirrels):

\[2x=50\]See what I did there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yess

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Ok we want to get "x" by itself so we divide 2 from both side. What does that give us?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Give me one sec. while I write this down.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 0.04

OpenStudy (squirrels):

uh not quite. Its 50/2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Ok sweet, now that we know x=25. we plug it in x+15

OpenStudy (squirrels):

So what is 25+15?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Nice! Ok so do you still need help with the 2nd one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will try it on my own tell me if it's good :)

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Sure, omg you actually like to learn.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do :D! So I subtracted 27 to get x alone and x = 2

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Yup subtract 27 to both sides. \[3x+27=33\]\[3x=6\]\[x=2\]You got got it right :)

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Bibby stop!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay yay great thanks :D

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Ok so now just plug x=2 into x+9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11

OpenStudy (squirrels):
