Do you have any idea how to start? c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can take you through step-by-step.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okk

Alright, so the first thing to do is simplify the equation to the point where you can easily get y alone. Are you aware of the order of operations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im new to all of this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright~ Well, the order of operations is how you deal with every problem. PEMDAS is the order of operations. It tells the order of how to simplify your problem to find your answer. Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction Understand so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i have 5 questions and like 3 mins of class tho :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since you're new to this, you can use this process to guide you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just follow PEMDAS to simplify the problem and then get rid of numbers on each side to find your answer (by getting the variable y alone)..
