OpenStudy (cookie_monster):

Solve for $

OpenStudy (chrisdbest):

OpenStudy (cookie_monster):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (cookie_monster):

Do you mind helping me with another problem? All I need is an explanation. No direct answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (cookie_monster):

Solve for x: 2 over 5 (x - 4) = 2x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like this?\[\frac{ 2 }{ 5(x-4) } = 2x\]

OpenStudy (cookie_monster):

No, more like this |dw:1438884213727:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }(x-4)=2x\]\[2(x-4)=10x\]\[x-4=5x\]\[-4=4x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you do the rest!

OpenStudy (cookie_monster):

It would be -1.

OpenStudy (cookie_monster):

Ok, so how do you get rid of the second x between step 3-4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

minus x from both sides
