Answer 1

A.one solution
B.infinite solutions
C.no solution

Answer 2

okay so try opening the brackets on the right hand side this time

Answer 3

and show me what you get

Answer 4

i get 9a right?

Answer 5

on the right hand side...
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } (9a -18)\]
so to simplify this, we would do...
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } . 9a - \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } . 18\]
thats how we open a bracket, so we multiply the term outside to both the inside terms, so can you please simplify this?

Answer 6

ok ok i will

Answer 7

1/3*9a-5.94

Answer 8

1/3*306a?

Answer 9

not quite, if you multiply the above equation out, you should get
3a - 6 for the night hand side, do you see why?
all I've done here is expand
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }9a - \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }18\]

Answer 10

im sorry i am not awake this morning i fully understand ):0

Answer 11

hahaha no problem, we all have those mornings

Answer 12

usterday i was on the ball but today i am have like 1000000 brain farts :P

Answer 13

hahaha dw thats me most days, totally brain dead

Answer 14

so the answer is A right because a= 2

Answer 15

umm not quite, but it is A

Answer 16

oh but what does a= then because 6/3=2....

Answer 17

wait where did you get 6/3 from?

Answer 18

remember we have to let the left hand side equal to our simplifies right hand side and then solve

Answer 19

simplified*

Answer 20

3a-6 right then what do i do?

Answer 21

so now we go back to our original equation where we had
\[6 - a = \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } (9a -18)\]
except, we've already simplified the rightt hand side above so its just...
\[6 - a = 3a -6\]

Answer 22

Now we can solve for a

Answer 23

yeah then a=0

Answer 24

ahhhhhhh im dead >:(

Answer 25

im so mad with my self right now >I0

Answer 26

um, not exactly, you would take the -a from the left hand side over to the right so you get

6 = 3a + a -6

Answer 27

and do the same thing with the 6 on the right hand side, you want to take that over to the left

Answer 28

collect like terms to simplify

Answer 29

oh ok hey you should become a qualified helper your great :)

Answer 30

hahaha tbh I don't think so, Im still pretty new to this xD but thanks anyway :)

Answer 31

But do you understand it all now?
