What is the solution to y = 2x – 1 for the replacement set x = {1.4}? ( , )

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

substitute 1.4 for x and solve

OpenStudy (bohotness):

okay

OpenStudy (cookielate):

When x = 1, y is 2*1 - 1. When x = 4, y is 2*4 - 1. I'm sure you can calculate those. You're supposed to write this in set notation, so put those two results in the standard curly brackets { }

OpenStudy (bohotness):

so |dw:1430191709969:dw|

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

no you have to make it \[y=2(1.4)-1\]

OpenStudy (bohotness):

okay

OpenStudy (bohotness):

WAIT can you explay?

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

???

OpenStudy (bohotness):

explan

OpenStudy (cookielate):

explain*

OpenStudy (cookielate):

sorry if I confuse @bohotness

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

okay so they gave you your x-value which is 1.4, so now you substitute x for 1.4 which would give you the equation for y which is 2(1.4)-1

OpenStudy (bohotness):

okay

OpenStudy (bohotness):

okay i got 1.8

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

okay so now you have your y-value

OpenStudy (bohotness):

so 1.8,1.4

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

this is where i am not sure about... i don't know if you have to solve for x or if you're done... sorry

OpenStudy (bohotness):

its okay

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

maybe @cookielate or @acxbox22 can help

OpenStudy (cookielate):

so you already solved y right

OpenStudy (cookielate):

Then you have to solve x so it could be like this >>> (x,y)

OpenStudy (cookielate):

Are you confuse ??

OpenStudy (bohotness):

yes i got y but what x?

OpenStudy (cookielate):

X because its the solution

OpenStudy (bohotness):

THANK YOU XD

OpenStudy (cookielate):

No problem are you still confuse or you get it ?
