You there? @narissa
yes
Cool
So this equation you will be moving all the terms containing x to the left hand of the equation since there are two x's. Since 12x contains x or variable you will be moving to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting both sides with 12x. Then the equation will look like this. 10x+4-12x=-16 Then you move -12x left by 10x 10x-12x+4=-16 Subtract 12x from 10x to get -2x+4=-16
Understand it so far? @narissa
yes
its -16 right?
Then next you will be moving all the terms that don't contain x to the right-hand side of the equation. Since 4 doesn't contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides -2x=-6-14 -2x=-20 Or You subtract -4 from -2x + 4=-16 -2x=-16-4 Still with equal -2x=-20 Then you will divide -2x by -2 and -20 by -2. Then -2x will turn into X ( not negative since divided by -2). x=10
thank u
Then plug it into the equation then they will both equal 104=104 10(10)=4= 12(10)-16 100+4=120-16 104=104
So then 10 is still the right answer for that equation. :D
k so 10 is the answer right?
k i opened a new one
thanks alot
Yes. I just put 10 into that equation to explain it to you and show you proof of it.
k
Understand it?
i have 5 more can u help
yes i do sorta im in a special class for math so its a little hard
Can I help or May I help?
Okay next question.
