Question

Help! Fan and medal.

Answer 1

First, i'd move the 9 in the denominator. So, multiply both sides by 9.

Answer 2

Wait, how?

Answer 3

You have to make x alone. So first remove 9 then -2 then 8

Answer 4

\[ 2*9 = \frac{8x-2}{9}*9\]

Answer 5

\[2∗9=(8x−2)*\frac{9}{9}\]

Answer 6

so,

\[ \frac{ 6_{x} }{ 9 } \times 9?\]

Answer 7

I'm not sure where you got the 6x.

Answer 8

It says 8x - 2, witch is 6 x.

Answer 9

nope, you can't combine the 8x and the -2. Because the -2 doesn't have an x.

Answer 10

Oh, so what is that then?

Answer 11

You want to get the stuff with x's on one side and the other stuff on the other

Answer 12

So I have to isolate the x's and the regulars?

Answer 13

Yes

Answer 14

Does this make sense so far?
\[2∗9=(8x−2)∗\frac{9}{9}\]

Answer 15

Nope.

Answer 16

ok, I took the whole equation, and multiplied both sides by 9.

Answer 17

\[\frac{2}{1} = \frac{8x-2}{9}\]
becomes
\[\frac{2}{1}*9 = \frac{8x-2}{9}*9\].
Which is allowed because we did it to both sides

Answer 18

gtg, so
\[18=(8x-2)*\frac{9}{9} \iff 18=8x-2 \iff 18+2 = 8x-2+2\]

Answer 19

Dang. thats a long equation.

Answer 20

sorry, it's three equations. the <==> just means one is the same as the other

Answer 21

\[x=20/8\]
