OpenStudy (anonymous):

check your inbox

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok good. So now you have -4x/3-9+2=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have any ideas about what to do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try combining like terms again, with -9+2

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good! so now you have -4x/3-7=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the next step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry should have made it more clear: (-4x/3) - 9 + 2 = 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're going to add 7 to each side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-4x/3) - 7 = 1 turns into (-4x/3)=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem :)
