Question

What is the solution to the equation?

6 + 2s – 8s = 18

A.
s = –4

B.
s = –2

C.
s = 2

D.
s = 4




@SolomonZelman

Answer 1

add the S-s on the left.

Answer 2

\(\large\color{black}{ 6 \color{red}{+ 2s - 8s} = 18 }\)

Answer 3

add the red

Answer 4

the answer must be what s is

Answer 5

i dont understand

Answer 6

just follow the steps: \(\large\color{black}{ 6 + 2s - 8s = 18 }\)

1) subtract \(\large\color{black}{ + 2s-8s }\).
2) subtract \(\large\color{black}{ 6 }\) from both sides.
3) divide both sides by \(\large\color{black}{ -6 }\).

Answer 7

do whatever you are able to do from the list of steps I gave.

Answer 8

is the answer -4?

Answer 9

Answer 10

@SolomonZelman

Answer 11

no it is not -4

Answer 12

can you show me some work please?

Answer 13

-2

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

What is the solution to the equation?

–4q + 8 = –2q – 16

A.
q = –12

B.
q = –4

C.
q = 4

D.
q = 12

Answer 16

What is the solution to the equation?

negative4q + 8 = negat.2q negat. 16

A.
q = neg.12

B.
q = neg.4

C.
q = 4

D.
q = 12

Answer 17

\(\large\color{black}{ -4q+8=-2q-16 }\) ?

Answer 18

yup

Answer 19

1) add \(\large\color{black}{ 4q }\) to both sides.
2) add \(\large\color{black}{16 }\) to both sides.
3) divide both sides by \(\large\color{black}{ 2 }\).

Answer 20

-4

Answer 21

can you please show some work here in this post, so that I can tell what you are doing?

Answer 22

i dont know how this works

Answer 23

okay, lets do step by step. Will start from step 1.

Answer 24

thsnk you

Answer 25

\(\large\color{black}{ -4q+8\color{red}{+4q}=-2q-16\color{red}{+4q} }\)

Answer 26

tell me two things:
\(\large\color{black}{ -4q+8\color{red}{+4q}~~=~? }\)
\(\large\color{black}{ -2q-16\color{red}{+4q} ~~=~? }\)

Answer 27

neg 4 right?

Answer 28

-4 is what?

Answer 29

the first one is 8q

Answer 30

n it is 0q+8, which is same as just 8.

Answer 31

just likee -4+4=0, so it -4q+4q=0

Answer 32

okay

Answer 33

and the second one is?

Answer 34

-14

Answer 35

q

Answer 36

nope

Answer 37

?

Answer 38

okay, what is \(\large\color{black}{ -2q\color{red}{+4q} }\) ?

Answer 39

2q

Answer 40

yes

Answer 41

so then,
\(\large\color{black}{ -2q-16\color{red}{+4q}=2q-16 }\)

Answer 42

huh

Answer 43

so you get:
\(\large\color{black}{ -4q+8=-2q-16 }\)

\(\large\color{black}{ -4q+8\color{red}{+4q}=-2q-16\color{red}{+4q} }\)

\(\large\color{black}{ 8=2q-16 }\)

Answer 44

then ad 16 to both sides.

Answer 45

\(\large\color{black}{ 8\color{blue}{+16}=2q-16\color{blue}{+16} }\)

Answer 46

\(\large\color{black}{ 8\color{blue}{+16}=?}\)
\(\large\color{black}{ 2q-16\color{blue}{+16}=? }\)

Answer 47

24

Answer 48

2q

Answer 49

yes, and the second one is?

Answer 50

yes

Answer 51

\(\large\color{black}{ 24=2q }\)

Answer 52

divide both sides by 2

Answer 53

12 and 1

Answer 54

yes:
\(\large\color{black}{ 12=q }\)

Answer 55

thank you sooooooooo much @SolomonZelman

Answer 56

yw!
