Help please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ITs the same as the first one kinda, but i need to know how to get it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, first subtract by 4 on both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you have now that you subtract 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok the other side is -6. And -6 - 4 is -10 So far we have -10= x/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract four on each side then multiply by 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that will get you your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you must use arithmetic to manipulate your equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes now you multiply by 8, since it was originally being divided.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if their is a -4 on one side and their isnt a variable on the other you should +by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh Got the steps right, but i wanted to divide! not multiply!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the Division Property of Equality, the Multiplication Property of Equality, the Subtraction Property of Equality, and the Addition Property of Equality to solve for your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can You also show me this one??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, which property do you use first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remeber it's PEMDAS backwards.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so subtraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No remeber if its subtraction on one side you add on both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, addition in this case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your trying to isolate x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I subtract -4 and get +4 and then do it to the other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So positive 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you need to get rid of everything on the side of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes its positive 2 now what do you need to do.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so far we have 5/6x=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know now? I get stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if its division you use........

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If its dividing on one side you do the opposite to get rid of it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So whats the opposite of division?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cmon were almost done.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so what do you multiply?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we multiply 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No remeber you trying to get rid of everything on the side of X except X.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5*6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 5/6*x=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are you dividing 5 by?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are you divding 5x by?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it Be D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its like 5x/6 = 2 what must you do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your going to multiply which number???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you mutiply (5x/6)6=2(6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So its D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12=5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what do you do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i Have another one just like it, i get that same far and get stuck!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we need to get x, and we multiplying x by 5 so we need to do the opposite of mutiplaction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HELLO!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whats the first step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Add 2 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you make these posts on different questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ITs getting hard t scroll every time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah
