Question

5 questions! Please check my work!? I will medal. ^-^ (See attached files)

Answer 1

Uhm, so what do you need help with? ^u^

Answer 2

The 1 is positive so you have to subtract on both sides.

Answer 3

So what do you think the actual answer would be?

Answer 4

@Ms-Brains , what they mean is that you have to subtract 1 from each side of the equation. :P

Answer 5

So it would be B then? or it could be C ..?

Answer 6

@YoungStudier

Answer 7

Uhm, no, not quite cx
So let's just look at the equation at the start: 3x + 1 = 2y
What do you think is the first step to solving the equation? :)

Answer 8

Subtract 1 from both sides.

Sorry I was called away.

@YoungStudier

Answer 9

Yes so now it would be:

3x = 2y - 1

What should we do next to get -1 alone on one side?

Answer 10

Divide both sides by three?

Answer 11

Uhm, no, not quite.
We want to get -1 alone on one side
So what could we do to transfer 2y over to the 3x side?

Answer 12

Add 1 to both sides? o.O idk..

Answer 13

Uhm, no. :P
We wanna subtract each side by 2y in order to get -1 alone.

Answer 14

Oh. xc

Answer 15

It's alright c: You're getting it.
So now the equation would be: 3x - 2y = 2y - 2y - 1

Answer 16

And so that will get rid of 2y on the -1 side
So now the equation is: 3x - 2y = -1
Does that make sense on how we got that? c:

Answer 17

Yeah, I understand now. Thanks!
I got like 3 more, if you could help?

Answer 18

I can try. c:

Answer 19

Do you know how to solve these kind of problems?

Answer 20

Yup ^.^ I literally just learned about this cx
So what do you think the answer is?

Answer 21

I think it's B..

Answer 22

But, I never worked on these kind of problems

Answer 23

Uhmmm, you're on the right track. These are relatively simple.

Answer 24

The line intercepts (goes through) an exact point on the coordinate plane, or graph, whichever you prefer :P

Answer 25

Oh, so it would be C.
Because the line goes through the -1?

Answer 26

Uhm, yeah it does..... O.o Another wonky question.

Answer 27

I've narrowed it down to either A or C.
What do you think it is?

Answer 28

Uhm, if I remember correctly, the line has to go through the bold black lines with all the numbers labeled on them. And those would we the x and y axis intercepts. So I DON'T think it would be A or C.

Answer 29

So it would be D then. But I don't understand how it would be that. ;-;

Answer 30

Yes, D would be correct.
Uhm, I'll PM you a math cast link from my lesson. It's a little different from what you're doing, but it gets the same conclusion in the end and may help you understand this better c:

Answer 31

Okay. Thanks. cx

Answer 32

No problem c:

Answer 33

Is there anything else you need help with?

Answer 34

Yeah c:
I think it's C.

Answer 35

Uhm, I'm not sure how to explain this one, but try watching the Math Cast as it has a problem similar to this one. ^-^

Answer 36

Okay!. Last one

Answer 37

I gotta refresh my memory on how to do this, the math cast explains it xD One sec.

Answer 38

Ooooh okay, so to find the x intercept we need to turn the y into a 0

Answer 39

So we started with 6x - 4y = -12
Now we have: 6x - 4 * 0 = -12

Answer 40

So we need to simplify to find out what x is..?

Answer 41

Yup ^.^
Following the Order of Operations, we would do the multiplication first with 4 * 0

Answer 42

x -2
I already solved it

Answer 43

LOL XD

Answer 44

Yup, so now we have x

Answer 45

Haha, okay now what? :P

Answer 46

Now we need to use the starting equation again. And this time turn x into 0 so that it is 6*0 - 4y = -12

Answer 47

So that we can find the value of y ^.^

Answer 48

Gimme a sec to solve it

Answer 49

y=3

Answer 50

Yup! ^.^

Answer 51

So it's A?

Answer 52

Yuppers! :D

Answer 53

Awesome! Thanks so much. :3

Answer 54

No problem! :3
