@dan815 @iGreen @AnswerMyQuestions @Loser66 @Kainui any tours please help me :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Help with what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Math test hel;p understand what they mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about math do you need help on? What grade?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

even the lessons i cant freaking understand :@ 7th grade

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can help. So what is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exponents?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its recripicals or somthing like that i dont know let me check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, reciprocals...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, the reciprocal of a fraction is the fraction flipped over.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Equations Involving Multiplication and Division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

These are my objectives in the lesson Identify properties of equality. Use a property of equality to solve an equation. Use transformation by multiplication or division to solve an equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those all i dont understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you just give me an equation involving multiplication and division?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know how to do like this:

OpenStudy (igreen):

I think they're talking about solving equations? Like x + 5 = 10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, the inverse is the opposite, and the opposite of addition is subtraction, so you would use subtraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I think i got those down but what im trying is that picture, like the question.. thats what i dont get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you subtract 33.2 - 15.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To get the original number. :)

OpenStudy (igreen):

15.3 + x = 33.2 The inverse rule would be to subtract 15.3, because 15.3 is being ADDED to x. We have to do the opposite and SUBTRACT. x = 33.2 - 15.3 x = 17.9 See? So the original number is 17.9.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17.9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so then is that x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So look: The inverse of addition is subtraction. The inverse of subtraction is addition. The inverse of division is multiplication, and the inverse of multiplication is division.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what im troubled with is how to find the x mainly

OpenStudy (igreen):

SUBTRACTION is the opposite of ADDITION. ADDITION is the opposite of SUBTRACTION. MULTIPLICATION is the opposite of DIVISION. DIVISION is the opposite of MULTIPLICATION.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Okay, do you have any other questions you need to get through?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay can you help me review another one again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me go get the next one please stay here, you really helped me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This may be super easy but im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know hwat it means on the last part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, it says that a and b are equal, and it says that c is nonzero, or a number that isn't zero. It means that if the same numbers are divided by the same number that isn't 0, the fractions will be equal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no not really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so a and b are the same number, Ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats if the same number is divided by the same number mean?

OpenStudy (igreen):

It says a and b are the same, and if they're both divided by 'c', then they must be equal. It also says that c isn't zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I messed up. XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how are a and b the same? like how would it nbe equal if c isnt 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, let's suppose a and b are 10. And c is 2. Since a and b are the same, they will both have 10 on the top, and since c is the bottom for both of them, they are the same number, 10/2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's pretty hard explaining easy things so that people can understand them. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay let me see if there is any more
