OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you solving for x and were you given options?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i got an answer but i wanna make sure its an option if there are options! hah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no options and yes i have to solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so first go ahead and simplify what you can on either side by combining alike variables

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so on the left side of the equal sign, what do you see that can be simplified?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@courtney-ray ...do you still need help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Probably :-)
