I need help with solving multi-step equations
ok
can u help me please with |dw:1415107608476:dw|
Is this it? \(-4x - 21 = 27 - 84\)
yep perfect
\(-4x - 21 = 27 - 84\) First we simplify: \(-4x - 21 = -57\) Add 21 to both sides: \(-4x = -36\) Now can you divide -36 / -4? @ballers5
okay so how did u get 84 it was negative 8x sorry im confused
You put -84 there..it was part of the original equation, wasn't it?
Oh, it was -8x?
heres the equation negative 4x -21=27 -8x
\(-4x - 21 = 27 - 8x\) Okay first we add 21 to both sides: \(-4x = 48 - 8x\) Now we add 8x to both sides: \(4x = 48\) Now can you divide 48 / 4? @ballers5
so the answers 12
I got 48 when I added 21 to the other side with 27. And 21 + 27 = 48.
okay ....... got it so it is 12 or -12
It's just 12..because 48 / 4 = 12.
can I ask u a couple more things please
Sure, just close this question and open a new one.
