OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

hello :)

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Hic an \ help me

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

yea

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

lets begin :)

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

looking at the problem we know the total price correct?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Yes

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

what is it c:

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

it is $62

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

so now we now that is our end result

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

no matter what math we do that has to be what it is equal to

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

do you know what this means?

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

oh... you left :/

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

well i will just finish this up then

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Im still here

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

since 62 is our total and what e need to equal just as it sounds that means that we have 62 =

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

ok xD

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

ok since you are here tell me what do they give us :)

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Can you jus explain the answer please i will hibe you meadl

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

ill explain it but in detail :)

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

we are not allowed to just give out answers :/

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Ok

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

so they give us 14 and 2 passes that are the same price

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

meaning we have 62 = 14 +?

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

62=14+2x

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Ok

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

now to solve it

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

isolate the variable

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

subtract 14 from both sides

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

58=2x

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

now to get what one pass is divide both sides by 2

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

29=x

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

then to make sure it works you can plug it back into the equation 2(29)+14 = 62

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

dont forget to medal :)
