Question

Please help me solve

1- 4(c-3) + 7 = 59
2-5g+4(5+3g) = 2 - g
3- k- 3k = 6k + 5 - 8k
4- -6a + 3 = -3(2a-1)

Thanks

Answer 1

you need somebody to walk you through all 4 of them?

Answer 2

yes please

Answer 3

:)

Answer 4

okay i'll take you through all of them so you understand

Answer 5

thank you

Answer 6

no problem. okay do you know the first step for #1?

Answer 7

divide. Maybe the 4 from each side?

Answer 8

distribute

Answer 9

distribute it to what's in the parentheses first

Answer 10

then we do the reverse order of operations

Answer 11

okay 4(c-3) = 4c - 12 + 7 = 59

Answer 12

now combine like terms

Answer 13

4c - 12 + 7

Answer 14

-12 and +7 are like terms
combine them
and then add that to 59

Answer 15

c = 54

Answer 16

you'll be left with 4c
divide each side by 4 and that's how you get what c equals

Answer 17

c = 13.5

Answer 18

you should have gotten -5 when you combine like terms
to get rid of the -5 you have to add 5

Answer 19

sorry i should have said that 1st

Answer 20

okay thats okay

Answer 21

it'll be 59+5
and then divide by 4

Answer 22

14.75?

Answer 23

59+5= 64
64/4=16

Answer 24

yay thank you

Answer 25

no problem! let's move on to #2

Answer 26

oky

does #2 equal 37

Answer 27

how did you get to that answer

Answer 28

5g+4(5 + 3g) = 2 - g
5g + 4(8g) = 2-g
5g+32g = 2 - g
37g = 1g
37 = g

Answer 29

you can't combine 5 and 3g because 5 doesn't have a g
that threw off your math
you were supposed to begin with the distributive property again

Answer 30

oh okay thanks

Answer 31

5g + 20 + 12g = 2 - g

Answer 32

then do I combine the like terms?

Answer 33

hello?

Answer 34

sorry i was taking notes for a class

Answer 35

oh thats cool

Answer 36

yes you combine like terms now
so 5g+3g

Answer 37

kay

Answer 38

**5g+12g

Answer 39

add?

Answer 40

yes add 5g and 12g

Answer 41

17g

Answer 42

okay so now you have 20+17g= 2-g

Answer 43

okay

Do I combine 17g and g or just add regularly?

Answer 44

thanks Im sorry but I have to go

Answer 45

okay
