FAN AND MEDAL

OpenStudy (baru):

1/4 + 1/3 =?

OpenStudy (baru):

yes...but its better to keep it as a fraction. can you do that?

OpenStudy (baru):

7/12 a +8=22 1) subtract 8 from both sides 2) divide both sides by 7/12

OpenStudy (baru):

nope can you write the steps you followed?

OpenStudy (baru):

\[\frac{ 7 }{ 12 }a +8=22\] that is the starting equation, subtract 8 from both sides then divide both sides by \(\frac{7}{12}\)

OpenStudy (baru):

\[\frac{ 7 }{ 12 }a +8-8=22-8\]

OpenStudy (baru):

\[\frac{ 7 }{ 12 }a =14\]

OpenStudy (baru):

7/12 divided by 7/12 = 1

OpenStudy (baru):

\[1a = 14 \div \frac{7}{12}\]

OpenStudy (baru):

you have to divide both sides

OpenStudy (baru):

no

OpenStudy (baru):

\[a=14 \div (7 \div 12)\]

OpenStudy (baru):

do whats in the bracket first

OpenStudy (baru):

14 divided by that number is?

OpenStudy (baru):

yes :)
