@camper4834 thankyou

OpenStudy (camper4834):

okay this is a quick one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im guessing the answer would be B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or A

OpenStudy (camper4834):

let me show you how this works

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (camper4834):

\[(x+\color{red}{7})+\color{blue}{5}\]

OpenStudy (camper4834):

this kinda looks like your equation but i made it up the red number is INSIDE THE PARENTHASES the blue number is OUTSIDE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (camper4834):

and so the red number makes it move HORIZONTALLY the blue number makes it move VERTICALLY

OpenStudy (camper4834):

red means left and right blue means up and down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (camper4834):

\[(x \color{red}{+}7)\color{blue}{+}5\]

OpenStudy (camper4834):

these are the signs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so youre saying the answer is C

OpenStudy (camper4834):

if the red one is POSITIVE that means LEFT if the red is NEGATIVE that means RIGHT if blue is POSITIVE that means UP if blue is NEGATIVE that means DOWN

OpenStudy (camper4834):

now that i explained it all take a closer look

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (camper4834):

4 left 5 down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are both negative

OpenStudy (camper4834):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry

OpenStudy (camper4834):

4 LEFT which means +4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

positive negative yes sorry I get it now

OpenStudy (camper4834):

don't be fooled by the left and right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah let me take a closer look

OpenStudy (camper4834):

i know you want to think that ADDING will make it move towards the right

OpenStudy (camper4834):

|dw:1416468731099:dw|

OpenStudy (camper4834):

which one has +4 and -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the left side

OpenStudy (camper4834):

oh that isn't what i meant

OpenStudy (camper4834):

which one of the answers has +4 and -5

OpenStudy (camper4834):

a b c OR d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh haha D

OpenStudy (camper4834):

yes that is the answer then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the one going horizontally (red) is negative and the one going vertically (blue is positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankyou :)

OpenStudy (camper4834):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah?

OpenStudy (camper4834):

the red has to be positive and the blue has to be negative for this question

OpenStudy (camper4834):

you said the opposite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just noticed that

OpenStudy (camper4834):

just making sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help me with 9 more?

OpenStudy (camper4834):

yeah sure
