2.8---
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
\[\large(10x+.1)+(7x-.2)=10\]
OpenStudy (shanksben12):
... so that would be the following:(?)\[(10x+.1+.2)+(7x-.2 + .2)=10\]
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
\[\large17x-.1=10\]

1I'm working it out right now...
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
Add .1 to both sides \[\large17x=10.1\]
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
Okay :)
OpenStudy (shanksben12):
\[10+.1=10.1(/17=x)\]
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
No, divide: \[\large10.1\div17\]

Oops wait we're solving for 5.
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
\[\large(7x+.1)+(10x-.2)=5\]
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
Simplify \[\large17x-.1=5\]
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
\[\large.1+5=5.1\]
OpenStudy (shanksben12):
OK so that means that = 17x

\[\large5.1\div17=x\]
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
Yes, 17x=5.1 :)
OpenStudy (shanksben12):
0.3??????????
OpenStudy (shanksben12):
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
Yes, now substitute x with that and check the math, then you can do the math to find MN :)

OpenStudy (shanksben12):
can we work through that?
OpenStudy (shanksben12):
if not, I'm sure I can do it on my own
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
Sure thing. \[\large(10\times.3-2)+(7\times.3+.1)=\]
OpenStudy (shanksben12):
1 + (2.1 + .1) so that's about 3.1?
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
\[\large10\times.3=3\]\[\large3-.2=2.8\]

OpenStudy (shanksben12):
thank you; is that the finished equation?
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
Nope\[\large2.8+(7\times.3+.1)\]\[\large7\times.3=\]
OpenStudy (shanksben12):
2.1
OpenStudy (shanksben12):
2.1?*
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
And \[\large2.1+.1=\]

3.1
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
No, we're adding .1, not 1
OpenStudy (shanksben12):
2.2?
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
Yep, and is this true: \[\large2.8+2.2=5\]
OpenStudy (shanksben12):
Thanks! Wow, you really helped... just a sec for medal...

So \[\large MN=2.8\] :)
