Question

WILL FAN AND MEDAL


I need help with the equation 22=-5(3k+1)
I have tried solving for k but I cant figure it out

Answer 1

do you know how to distribute?

Answer 2

YES

Answer 3

then distribute
-5(3k+1)

Answer 4

IT BE 15K-5

Answer 5

Now isolate K.

Answer 6

-5 * 3k = -15

Answer 7

-15k*

Answer 8

you forgot the negative sign

Answer 9

WHAT!!

Answer 10

22=-15k-5
27=-15k

Answer 11

like dat foh

Answer 12

\(\bf{22 = -15k - 5}\)

add 22 + 5 = 27
\(\bf{27=-15k}\)

now divide

Answer 13

HOW DO YOU ISOLATE THE VARIABLE

Answer 14

divide

Answer 15

move everything to one side and keep the variable on the other

Answer 16

You have to cancel out the values on one side. To remove the -5 you add 5 to both sides which will not change the value of the equation.

Answer 17

Doing this gives you the value of the unknown variable.

Answer 18

since -15k = -15 x k
you will divide 27/-15 and -15 x k / -15
that cancels out -15 on the right side leaving you with
27/-15 = k
divide that to get your answer

Answer 19

SO ITS -1.8

Answer 20

yes

Answer 21

k = -1.8

Answer 22

Yeah. And if you want to make sure then you can input -1.8 into the equation and solve.

Answer 23

i WISH I COULD GIVE YOU ALL MEDALS

Answer 24

OOOOHHHH I FORGOT THANK YOU

Answer 25

yw ^_^

Answer 26

Mehek14 go to another question in algebra so i can give you a medal

Answer 27

ARe you sure it isn't 32 and not 22?

Answer 28

Because when I plug in the value I get 32.

Answer 29

its 22 im sure i have the paper right here

Answer 30

22 = -5(5.4 + 1)
22 = -5(6.4)
22 = -32

Answer 31

you did it wrong chibiterasu :P

Answer 32

I'm so stupid.

Answer 33

Yeah thats right.

Answer 34

\(\bf{22=-5(3*-1.8+1)\\22=-5(-5.4+1)\\22=-5(-4.4)\\22=22}\)

Answer 35

Yeah I got 6.4 and not 4.4 because I mixed up the value sign. WOOPS
