3/2 (x-2)-5=19

agray99 · Answer

and 6=1/5w+7/5w-4

igreen · Answer

$\dfrac{3}{2}(x - 2) - 5 = 19$

Is this it?

igreen · Answer

I didn't give an answer..lol.

igreen · Answer

Just asking if that's the equation..

agray99 · Answer

the answer to number 1 is x=18 and number 2 is w=25/4 but i need to find the processs

igreen · Answer

Okay, well first we distribute 3/2 into the parenthesis:

$\dfrac{3}{2}(x - 2)$

To do this we multiply it to both 'x' and '-2'.

$\dfrac{3}{2} \times x = \dfrac{3}{2}x$

$\dfrac{3}{2} \times -2 = -3$

So we have:

$x - 3 - 5 = 19$

Can you finish that? @agray99

igreen · Answer

Sorry we have:

$\dfrac{3}{2}x - 3 - 5 = 19$

igreen · Answer

Can you finish that? @agray99 Just subtract -3 - 5, add that to both sides, then multiply 2/3 to both sides.

i'm confused as to how we got all that

igreen · Answer

We distribute 3/2 into the parenthesis..the parenthesis has 'x' and -2' inside of it..distributing 3/2 will be multiplying 3/2 to 'x' and '-2'..and when I did that I came up with 3/2x - 3
