Solve the equation for k. Hint. First Multiply both sides by 2

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 2mk +2j}{ 2 } = n+p \]

Answer 2

If you multiplied both sides you would get \[ mk+mj = n+ p\] right?

Answer 3

actually, it would be

\[\Large 2mk+2j = 2(n+p)\]

Answer 4

ok
2mk+ 2j= 2n+2p

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

then what

Answer 7

move the 2j over

Answer 8

subtract it

Answer 9

?

Answer 10

yes subtract 2j from both sides

Answer 11

then divide both sides by 2?

Answer 12

divide both sides by 2m

Answer 13

to isolate k

Answer 14

\[k =\frac{ n }{ m } +\frac{ p }{ m } + \frac{ j }{ m }\]

Answer 15

it should be

\[\Large k = \frac{n}{m}+\frac{p}{m}-\frac{j}{m}\]

you can also write that as

\[\Large k = \frac{n+p-j}{m}\]

Answer 16

notice it's minus j over m and NOT plus j over m

Answer 17

ok i see

Answer 18

thats thr final answer?

Answer 20

yes either form works but I prefer the second form

Answer 21

thanks can you help me with one other thing

Answer 22

sure

Answer 23

How would you write the slope-intercept inequality for a graph

Answer 24

so you're given a graph and they want the inequality?

Answer 25

yes but if you have the two points (0,5) and (3,-1) and the line is dashed and shaded like this
