Are you trying to figure out what X equals?

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

yes

OpenStudy (littleheron):

ok first thing is first

OpenStudy (littleheron):

we need to subtract 5x from both sides

OpenStudy (littleheron):

dont worry about the x right now

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first multiply by 2

OpenStudy (littleheron):

In every equation that you have to solve for x or y you do the opposite of the symbol if it is a + then -, if it is x then /

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x+2=4x-2

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

subtract 4x from 4x and 5x now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x-4x=-2-2

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

so then we have 1x+2 = -2 ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct.

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

subtarct 2 from 2 and -2?

OpenStudy (annah.bee):
