Here it is! @Global @FLAMER123
OpenStudy (anonymous):
use pemdas backwards when doing equations like this.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so subtract on both sides
3/7x+5=8
-5=-5
3/7x=3
*7x *7x
3=21x
3/21=x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OH LOL READ IT WRONG@!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
instead of multiplying 7x only multiply 7
Still Need Help?

21=3x
7=x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3/7x + 5= 8
First subtract by 5 on both sides.
3/7x = 3
Now multiply by 7 on both sides.
3x= 21
Lasly divide by 3.
x= 7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I kinda see.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What about this one!

b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because your subtracting and dividing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok! Ill open another one, if you would like to help???

You pretty much do the opposite operation. When trying to solve for x, or any other variable, you are trying to isolate it. So if it is multiplying you divide, if it is adding you subtract and vice versa until you leave the x alone.
