OpenStudy (jack1):

heya ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hii

OpenStudy (jack1):

so: 6-a = 1/3 (9a - 18) \(\Large 6-a = \frac 13 (9a - 18) \) k so to start, can you please multiply both sides by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27

OpenStudy (jack1):

... u lost me? \(\Large 6-a = \frac 13 (9a - 18) \) \(\Large \color{red}3(6-a) = \color{red}3(\frac 13 (9a - 18)) \) \(\Large 18-3a = 9a - 18 \) ... yeah?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (jack1):

cool, ok so now can u plz add 3a to both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

OpenStudy (jack1):

hmmm... i get where ur going, but always type out the whole equation so we're on the same page tho yeah? so ur right, it's now 12a, beacuse \(\Large 18-3a = 9a - 18\) \(\Large 18-3a \color{blue}{+ 3a} = 9a \color{blue}{+ 3a} - 18\) \(\Large 18 = 12a - 18\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (jack1):

cool, so now add 18 to both sides plz?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30a

OpenStudy (jack1):

nope

OpenStudy (jack1):

just 18, not 18a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so is this no solution

OpenStudy (jack1):

\(\Large 18 = 12a - 18\) \(\Large 18 \color{red}{+18}= 12a - 18\color{red}{+18}\) \(\Large 36 = 12a \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (jack1):

yep, 1 solution, and it's a = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok I just need help with 2 more ya mind?

OpenStudy (jack1):

sure, the colour and equations are lowing this one down tho, new thread?
