What is the solution to the equation x + 8.5 = 40.5? x = 4.8 x = 6.2 x = 30 x = 32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32 + 8.5=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no no u don't give the answer u help me get the answer. ok

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

@swfoster and @Ark3145 Do not give direct answers! We are here to help and not here to cheat. If you give direct answers the person asking the question will not be able to understand.

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Okay @HelpThisPanda007 I can help xD

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

We need to get x alone on one side.

OpenStudy (igigighjkl):

Aww I wanted tis 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

As you can see, it is not alone at the moment. It is with \(8.5\). Now we need to "move" that number to the other side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you add the answers to 8.5 you will get your answer

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Do you have any idea how you would do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol you asked for help i gave it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is still right, right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40.5-8.5

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

No no. Wait. You will SUBTRACT 8.5 to both sides. Not add.

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Yes.

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

So what is 40.5 - 8.5? @HelpThisPanda007

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, its right . To figure this problem the easy way, all you need to do is add all of the answer choices to 8.5 until you get the answer you're looking for . In this case, 40.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait y r there so many people in this on question???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be 32

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

I have no idea. .. @Ark3145 thats the longer way. @HelpThisPanda007 What is 40.5 - 8.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your close panda superrrr close take away that decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40.8 - 8.5 = 32.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not really . Simple addition . But to each is own i guess lol

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

No 40.5 not 40.8

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

I think you accidentally wrote a typo. Its not 40.8 its 40.5 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u said 40.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 40.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was typo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40.5 - 8.5 = 32

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Right! So thats the answer! \(x = 32\) AWESOME! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40.5 - 8.5 = ?

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Good job working through this @HelpThisPanda007 :)
