OpenStudy (anonymous):

No direct answers please. Just need to know how to solve it.

OpenStudy (zale101):

\(\Large 4x-\frac{6}{y}=15\) \(\Large 4x-\frac{6}{2}=15\) Did you replace y with 2 already?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do i do it

OpenStudy (zale101):

\(\Large 4x-\frac{6}{2}=15\) Let's get rid of the simple fractions. What is 6/2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (zale101):

Good. That means \(\Large 4x-3=15\)

OpenStudy (zale101):

Now, combine like terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 and 15?

OpenStudy (zale101):

-3 and 15 are like terms. Move -3 to the other side by adding 3 to both sides of the equation.

OpenStudy (zale101):

Can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18 and 6

OpenStudy (zale101):

\(\large 4x−3+3=15+3\) \(\large 4x=18\) What is the next step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I am kind of confused because I am tired and have been working all day.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4=18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait sorry

OpenStudy (zale101):

You divide both sides by 4 to leave x alone. \(\large 4x=18\) \(\LARGE\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{18}{4}\)
