sorry, will help you later.
OpenStudy (lynfran):
is there a typo with the first problem..?? 7+8x+-1 ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no its really looks like -1=7+8x
OpenStudy (lynfran):
thats a better view...anyways...
we need to solve for x
so we can take 7 frm both sides of the equation
we get -1-7=7-7+8x
simplify we get -1-7=8x
wats -1-7 equals to?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-8

OpenStudy (lynfran):
good so -8=8x
OpenStudy (lynfran):
we now divide both sides by 8 to solve for x
OpenStudy (lynfran):
whats did u get for x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-1?
OpenStudy (lynfran):
correct

I kept on getting -8
OpenStudy (lynfran):
-8/8=-1
OpenStudy (lynfran):
-8=8x
-8/8=8x/8
-1=x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i get it
OpenStudy (lynfran):
ok

how would you do 10+h/3=1
OpenStudy (lynfran):
first subtract 10 frm both sides of the equation
so 10-10+h/3=1-10
simplify we get..?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0+h/3=-9?
OpenStudy (lynfran):
yes h/3=-9
OpenStudy (lynfran):
now we multiply both sides of the equation by b ...that way we can get h alone on the left side of the equation

by 3"
OpenStudy (lynfran):
multiply both sides of the equation by 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-9 times 3 equals -27
OpenStudy (lynfran):
yes thats what h= to
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-27?

yep
OpenStudy (lynfran):
the next equation is done the same way like the previous 1 above
m/6+5=26
whats the first step??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
subtract 5 from each side
OpenStudy (lynfran):
correct then what??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
multiply 6 to each side

OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got 126
OpenStudy (lynfran):
me too
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what about the next equation? the subtraction sign got me
OpenStudy (lynfran):
-5x-2=13
we can add 2 to both sides of the equation
reason y... -2+2=0
OpenStudy (lynfran):
so we have -5x=13+2
whats next??

13+2 equals 15?
OpenStudy (lynfran):
yes -5x=15 now how can we get the x term alone ...since -5 is being multiple to x giving -5x
OpenStudy (lynfran):
whats the opposite of multiplication?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
division
OpenStudy (lynfran):
yes we divide both sides of the equation by.... ??

5?
OpenStudy (lynfran):
shd be -5
OpenStudy (lynfran):
if we divide by 5 then we have -x=15/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so x equals -3
OpenStudy (lynfran):
correct

Could you help me with -1=4+x/3?
OpenStudy (lynfran):
what the first step...do u know..?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
subtract 4 from each side
OpenStudy (lynfran):
correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so, x/3=-5

yes now whats the next step?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
multiply 3 to each side
OpenStudy (lynfran):
correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so, x=-15?
OpenStudy (lynfran):
yep
