I can help

macabbey101 · Answer

omg thank god!!

xmissalycatx · Answer

Are you solving for x though?

xmissalycatx · Answer

Jkjk, you're looking for RST.

rhondasommer · Answer

okay so; they are "equidistant" aka; equal

macabbey101 · Answer

okieodkie. so how would i solve a problem like this?

xmissalycatx · Answer

Set the equations equal to each other like so 

2x + 5 = 3x - 1

and solve for x by adding/subtracting certain numbers from one side to the other! :)

rhondasommer · Answer

bro im in the prosecc of helping

xmissalycatx · Answer

I'll let @RhondaSommer explain the rest since she was replying first.

macabbey101 · Answer

thank you! lol!! can u explain @RhondaSommer ?:)

xmissalycatx · Answer

@RhondaSommer multiple people can help, BTW. There's nothing wrong with a collaboration. Don't get so upset because multiple people want to help someone learn.

anonymous · Answer

....

rhondasommer · Answer

2x+5=3x-1
-2x     -2x 
       5=  x-1
     +1      +1
       6= x

macabbey101 · Answer

omg thank you.

rhondasommer · Answer

and it is veeerrrry frustrating when you are trying to help and someone else is saying something completely different. its not wrong.

rhondasommer · Answer

sorry; its not wrong for multiple people to help; its just frustrating

macabbey101 · Answer

Thank you so much guys for helping me

xmissalycatx · Answer

That's the best part, though @RhondaSommer . If multiple people say different things, it is multiple different ways to understand and sometimes some of them lead to shortcuts.

anonymous · Answer

yeah teamwork lol

rhondasommer · Answer

no problem. when something is equidistant you can just make them equal to eachother ^_^

and yes; but it is sually confusing for the asker to do them both at once...maybe try giving your feedback afterward...

xmissalycatx · Answer

I don't think you quite finished the question though..

rhondasommer · Answer

just a suggestion so the asker isnt confused

xmissalycatx · Answer

You still have to plug in 6 to where it says "x" and add both of the new equations together to get your m<RST

rhondasommer · Answer

:) yep sorry didnt read that part of the equation ^_^

xmissalycatx · Answer

^-^ ye. Anyways I need to be heading. Adios home slices.
