I medal if you help me, not sure how to solve this.

OpenStudy (annie12m):

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

the answer is 5/2 we are solving for x

OpenStudy (annie12m):

@FaiqRaees @NetherCreep333 @pooja195 @retirEEd @RhondaSommer @ScarlettFarra2000 @usercode3rror @welshfella @YoungStudier

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

x is 5/2

OpenStudy (annie12m):

but how could it be that when you simplify it down to 2 1/2 because there isnt a another box infrount of the fraction

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

ok sinplify bith sides for me and tell me what you get

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

then isolate the variable

OpenStudy (annie12m):

i dont get what you mean cause on the question it only shows 2 boxes and if i simplified 5/2 down it would need 3 boxes

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

This is the problem, is it not?

OpenStudy (annie12m):

yep it is

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

i did it and got 5/2 my calc did iot and got 5/2 if its not 5/2 idk what it is

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

@NetflixAndNo @NetflixAndYes

OpenStudy (annie12m):

wait ithink i know what the problem is

OpenStudy (annie12m):

i think your suppose to multiply diangnoly because my thing says: Proportion Problems and proportions you have to do that

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

this is simple math your answer is x=5/18!:)

OpenStudy (annie12m):

how did you solve that tho

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

ok let me explain

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

my mathway.com calculator says 5/2

OpenStudy (annie12m):

ya ik @NetherCreep333 mine does too

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

its wrong

OpenStudy (annie12m):

so @123AB456C will you explain to me how you got your answer please

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

yes, please explain

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation 2=8x+-2/9

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

Step 2: Flip the equation. 8x+-2/9=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did not see the question :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2\1 =2 times 8 =16 divided by 8 =?

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

Step 3: Add 2/9 to both sides. 8x+ -2/9=2/9=2 2/9 8x=2/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm i thought we was solving for x

OpenStudy (annie12m):

we are solving for x in the question it says,

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

Step 4: Divide both sides by 8. 8x/8 =20/9/8 soooooooo the answer issss Answer: X=5/18!

OpenStudy (annie12m):

Solve for x. Express the answer in simplest form.

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

do you get it!

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

that is simplist form!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we are sloving for x its 8 but if not ur correct @123ab456c

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

I AM CORRECT!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes u r

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

TOLD U!:)

OpenStudy (annie12m):

but isnt the 9 supose to be under the whole right side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol y did i think we was solving for x???

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

@annie12m what grade is u in

OpenStudy (annie12m):

a grade

OpenStudy (123ab456c):

awwww please tell me! just to know like how you didnt know tis!:)

7th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im in 11th

OpenStudy (123ab456c):
