Answer 1

@nono266

Answer 2

1. subtract 5 from both sides
2. divide 2 from both sides


2x+5 = 27
2x = 22
x = 11

Answer 3

Dude these are so hard how did you do that like it was 9+1

Answer 4

do you have any idea how to solve this ?

Answer 5

Solve
2(p+1)=18

Answer 6

distributive property applies there.

Answer 7

Nope anytime i learn i forget automatically

Answer 8

Distributive property:
\[a(b +c)=ab +ac\]

Answer 9

you have to find the value of x to get make this equation make sense

Answer 10

Listen to @Owlcoffee

He is an owl after all which makes him very wise ;)

Answer 11

That would be adding 2 to each side right?

Answer 12

what do you think the ( ) tells us to do?

Answer 13

+1 to each side?

Answer 14

Mathematical brackets are symbols such as parentheses that are most often used to create groups or clarify the order that operations are to be done in an algebraic expression. Some bracket symbols, however, have multiple special uses in mathematics.

Answer 15

Owl am I right

Answer 16

Add 1

Answer 17

Umm... Did i freeze?

Answer 18

First, let's clarify what a term, and a factor is.
Whenever you see two numbers or variables separated by a "+" sign, they are called "terms", for example: \((x+4\)) is a mathematical expression with two terms, there "x" is one term, and "4" is another term, and the "+" sign inbetween them is what separates them.

A factor, is exactly the same as a term, but are divided by a product, for example:
\[a(b+c)\]
This is a mathematical expression which presents two factors, "a" is a factor, and \((b+c)\) is another factor.
At the same time, the second factor \((b+c)\) presents two terms inside itself.

Answer 19

So do i add each side or am i ahead

Answer 20

\[2(p+1)=18\]
There are several ways to solve this equation, that would be by dividing both sides of the "=" sign by two:
\[\frac{ 2(p+1) }{ 2 }=\frac{ 18 }{ 2 }\]
Ending up with:
\[p+1=9\]

Answer 21

I have a feeling thats not the end of the equation is it?

Answer 22

no, an equation is considered solved for when the variable is isolated on any side of the "=" sign, how would you do that?
