@Mehek14 help

@Fuzzbro

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 19x or 10x * 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(has to do with liketerms I think)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright lemme see...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's been a while since i did this Is it just order of operations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um yes and like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so do you see any like terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, 9x and 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright and are they both positive or negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, lemme check something real quick

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Fuzzbro ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so combine the like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shouldn't we solve the other stuff first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on the bottom, then the top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well am I correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a little funky of an equation and i learned it a while back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on brb lemme try and solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, simplify it first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the parentheses there is 5-3, first simplify that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does that leave you with.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup so you have 4x/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on the top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then add 2x to 9x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have (4x/2)/11x*5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's how simple it can get without having the value of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is what i typed above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4x/2)/11x*5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 4x divided by 11x divided by 2 * 5 (if tried to put the liketerms together?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't believe you can combine 4x and 11x because they are separated by the division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

associative property of addition?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on like a said i haven't done this in a while

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, what grade are u in now? just curious

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9th..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks for trying to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm lookin around on the internet but it's hard to find people with this same question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll message you if i get anything...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pooja195 pls help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

real quick is it multiple choice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you give me the choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

er actually it isn't, I wasn't logged in at the time sorry >_<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the fill in thingy looks like this: Blank ---- Blank @Fuzzbro

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm, yeah sorry i don't know exactly how to do this one...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i feel like it could simplify more but i don't want to mess up your grade or anything...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's ok, thanks again anyway

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem
