OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

okay give me just a moment

OpenStudy (freemap):

okay thanks

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

okay I got it

OpenStudy (freemap):

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

remember how you set the equations equal last problem?

OpenStudy (freemap):

I think 6(8)-10= 38

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

no

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

okay so bi means 2, split in 2.

OpenStudy (freemap):

38/2=19

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

so just like before 6x+5=8x+15

OpenStudy (freemap):

You mind showing me how to do that again

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

how to solve?

OpenStudy (freemap):

yes

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

nope

OpenStudy (freemap):

Thanks not right, what did I do wrong?

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

there's not supposed to be a question mark at the end of that, sorry

OpenStudy (freemap):

-5(6)+5=-25

OpenStudy (freemap):

oh that's okay

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

almost there but not quite

OpenStudy (freemap):

25

OpenStudy (freemap):

35

OpenStudy (study_buddy99):

no, you have the right answer but you did it kind of backwards, let me explain

OpenStudy (freemap):

okay
