Question

6y=6 would i -6 into the other 6 to make y=0 or am i wrong and how so i fix it

Answer 1

How would you isolate the variable here?

Answer 2

minute 6 on both sides

Answer 3

Not quite. Remember that \[6y\] is also the same as \[6(y)\]Which is multiplication.

Answer 4

Now you need to do the inverse operation. What is the inverse of multiplication?

Answer 5

No you are supposed to the opposite of what is originally done. In that equation it is multiplying so you would divide 6 by 6.

Answer 6

ok i get the multiplying so i would write 6times 6 then

Answer 7

No. Because 6y is already you need to do the inverse (opposite) which is, like Kiara said, division. So you need to divide 6y by 6. Can you do that for me?

Answer 8

already multiplication*

sorry

Answer 9

so 6/6 that would equal 1 and then the answer would be y=1

Answer 10

Yes! Good job.

Answer 11

ok thank you for all ur help i seem to better understand how to do these math problem with people like u helping ,e because i dont get much help at school thats why i bring my homwork home and get help online.

Answer 12

Answer 13

now im struggling with finding the number n by writing an solving and equation.

Answer 14

Eight more than a number is fifteen. i need help in figuring out to find the number

Answer 15

This can be expressed as follows:

8 + x = 15

Answer 16

Now what is the inverse of 8 + x ?

Answer 17

i would say 8- 15 i think

Answer 18

Yes, the inverse is subtraction so now divide 8 on both sides.

Answer 19

which would equal 7 if i did it right

Answer 20

Yes! now let's check our work:

7 + 8 = 15

Answer 21

So it's right :)

Answer 22

-8 into 15 then 8+7+ 15
thats how i have it wrote out

Answer 23

However you do it, just as long as it's right :)
