HELP ILL MEDAL AND FAN YOU !
What is the solution to the equation?
\(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm -18+4+x=9-19 }\) this?
\(\large\color{blue}{ -18+4+x=9-19 }\) simplify, the left and right sides, first, can you do that?
yes (:
ok, can you simplify the right and left sides?
Okay, answer 2 things for me: \(\large\color{blue}{ -18+4=? }\) \(\large\color{blue}{ 9-19 =? }\)
dont you switch the signs ?
no, no "switching signs" just answer 2 questions I posted just now
-14 & -10
yes, so instead of having: \(\large\color{blue}{ -18+4+x=9-19 }\) you now have: \(\large\color{blue}{ -14+x=-10 }\)
See what I did?
(after this, add \(\large\color{blue}{ 14 }\) to both sides)
answer is: x-14 = -10 but @SolomonZelman got it
yes you took out the variable then you sloved both sides then you put the variable back into the equation
no, you are confusing something a bit overhere.... all I did is that I added/subtracted like terms on both sides:
\(\large\color{blue}{ -18+4+x=9-19 }\) became, \(\large\color{blue}{ -14+x=-10 }\) then I am adding \(\large\color{red}{ 14 }\) to both sides. \(\large\color{blue}{ -14+x\color{red}{+14}=-10\color{red}{+14} }\)
can you tell me what \(\large\color{blue}{ x }\) will be equal to?
so the answer is 4 ?
yes. \(\large\color{blue}{ x=4 }\)
well done.... yw!
