@the_ocean_girl Help me with this! Explain every step! Solve for d. -2d – 7 = 3 – 4d

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (mollynicole2015):

Nope. I am the worst at Math.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Are you willing to try :-)

OpenStudy (mollynicole2015):

Yeah.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Have heard about using the idea of balance to solve equations?

OpenStudy (mollynicole2015):

Yes. I have been learning this. What you do to one side you HAVE to do to the other.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yes, that is it. Your goal is to get the variable ALONE on one side, right?

OpenStudy (mollynicole2015):

Yes.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

:(

OpenStudy (mollynicole2015):

<(^-^<) It's okay.

OpenStudy (deadly_roses):

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

I wanted YOU to do all the steps and learn it

OpenStudy (mollynicole2015):

You can still teach me. ;)

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

OpenStudy (mollynicole2015):
