OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry 1 more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its ok if you have to go

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

no no. go ask. i'm at home chilling on a laptop, no need to go.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

last one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The product of 3 and a number is 12 more than the sum of the number and 26. What is the number?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

you need to set up an equation for this which would be : 3x=x+26+12

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

now all you gotta do is solve for x, which is the same type of problem we have been doing, lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

try again for this one. 1. subtract the x on both sides 2. add 26 and 12 what is your new equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3+38?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

3x=x+26+12 -x -x 3x-x=2x (hint)

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

try again. i really want you to learn this concept :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so remove the x's form the question?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

3x=x+26+12 -x -x you subtract x-x from the second side, which equals zero. however, on the first side, you have 3x-x which is 2x

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

so now your new equation is.?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 3x-x =2x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x+26+12?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yes but don't forget about the 26+12

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

what happened to the equal sign?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x=26+12?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG :O im right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im finally right?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

you made a whole step closer now simplify 26+12 and solve for x

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

you still need to solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x=37

OpenStudy (anonymous):

38 sorry

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

so x=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=38

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

well no 2x=38 x=38???<how is that possible

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

divide everything by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/38?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

38/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

19!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:DDDDD

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yep, that's the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I UNDERSTANDDDDD

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

i sure hope you do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

EVRYTHING IS SO CLEAR NOW

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!
