Can someone please help me solve 3*6=-9+k?

Nnesha (nnesha):

Nnesha (nnesha):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nnesha (nnesha):

3 times 6 = 48 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that wrong?

Nnesha (nnesha):

no use calculator :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

ye s that is wrong

Nnesha (nnesha):

are you kidding me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6+6+6 = 18

Nnesha (nnesha):

ok so then calculator is lair never use that ok :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woops. Sorry I was supposed to put in 16, not 6. My mistake. The equation is 3*16=-9+k

Nnesha (nnesha):

ok so multply 16 times 3 is 48 = -9 + k now you have to move 9

Nnesha (nnesha):

move -9******

Nnesha (nnesha):

and 9 is subtracting on right side what is opposite of subtract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

addition

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

This is how u solve the problem @Kirstenjla : Let's solve your equation step-by-step. (3)(16)=−9+k Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. 48=k−9

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Step 2: Flip the equation. k−9=48 Step 3: Add 9 to both sides. k−9+9=48+9 k=57

Nnesha (nnesha):

so add 9 both side

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Answer: k=57

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you KendrickLamar2014.

Nnesha (nnesha):

9-9 should cancel out 48 + 9 = ?????????????????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

57

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

You'r Welcome

Nnesha (nnesha):

well ok lets suppose that i'm not sure that 57 is right or not so we should check by plugging back into the equation like |dw:1415586579721:dw| yep both side are right os yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you got right answer
