i don't get it

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Write out an equation for "the product of c and 3 is b."

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

I think it it E

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

right @mathmale

OpenStudy (mathmale):

"Write out an equation for "the product of c and 3 is b." " is my request to you. It's not a statement of fact. Please express algebraically: "The product of c and 3 is b."

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

3c=b

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

isolate c so that we can add its value to 3. 3c=b c= b 3

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

c= b/3

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

right????????

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Yes, you are correct in isolating c. c+3 = ?? (replace c with b/3)

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

I said the answer is E because add this value to 3. b/3+3

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Yes. You now have the entire answer in terms of b. Done.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Fix up the expression to look nicer: It must be a fraction with denominatory 3.

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

First let us set up the equation we are told--that the product of c and 3 is b. 3c=b Now we must isolate c so that we can add its value to 3. 3c=b c=b/3 add this value to 3. b/3+3 Our final answer is E, b/3+3

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

Right @mathmale

OpenStudy (mathmale):

mathematically correct, but not pretty. As before, I'd suggest you combine b/3 and 3 into ONE fraction, with denominator 3.
