need help

Answer 1

ok i need help on 5 problems

Answer 2

what are the problems

Answer 3

solve the equation : 4x--36

Answer 4

HI!!

Answer 5

hi misty

Answer 6

\[4x-36\] is not an equation, because there is no equal sign there right?

Answer 7

oh wait srry yea it is

Answer 8

and equation would be something like \(4x-36=12\)

Answer 9

its 4x=-36

Answer 10

oooh

Answer 11

i see what you are saying misty

Answer 12

that you can solve by dividing \(-36\) by \(4\)

Answer 13

-9

Answer 14

if four times your number is \(-36\) then your number is \(-\frac{36}{4}\)

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

yeah right

Answer 17

ok next one

Answer 18

lol

Answer 19

solve the following equation: 5x-15=50

Answer 20

this one takes two steps
a) add 15 then
b) divide by 5

Answer 21

where do i add 15

Answer 22

to both sides

Answer 23

15 and 50?

Answer 24

that gets rid of the \(-15\) on the left

Answer 25

yeah what is \(50+15\)?

Answer 26

65

Answer 27

ok so if \[5x-15=50\] then you know \[5x=65\]

Answer 28

divide by 5 to get your answer

Answer 29

you are really good at this misty i can do it but not that good

Answer 35

<3 <3

Answer 36

4(x+2)-17=35

Answer 37

ooh now it is going to take more steps
lets get rid of the \(-17\)first by adding \(17\) to both sides
what do you get?

Answer 38

17 and 35?

Answer 39

yes

Answer 40

ok

Answer 41

52

Answer 42

so if \[4(x+2)-17=35\] you know \[4(x+2)=52\]

Answer 43

now divide both sides by 4

Answer 44

4 and 50?

Answer 45

divide 52 by 4

Answer 46

13

Answer 47

ok so if \[4(x+2)=52\] you have \[x+2=13\] subtract 2 to get x

Answer 48

11

Answer 49

bingo

Answer 50

ok

Answer 51

want to check it?

Answer 52

nope

Answer 53

sounds good

Answer 54

ok um 2 more

Answer 55

lol

Answer 56

6x+12=4x-18

Answer 57

a) subtract \(4x\) from both sides
you need the x's on one side of the equal sign

Answer 58

14

Answer 59

oh no \[6x+12=4x-18\] what is \(6x-4x\)?

Answer 60

2x

Answer 61

right, so we are at \[2x+12=-18\]

Answer 62

now subtract \(12\) from both sides

Answer 63

12 and 2?

Answer 64

\[2x+12=-18\\
2x+12-12=-18-12\\
2x=-18-12\] your job is to compute \(-18-12\)
