Will medal!!! 1:Simplify 1 · x - x/1. 0 1 x 2:Solve for n. -53 + n = -28 -35 -25 25 35

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

#2 -53 + n = -28 Add 53 to both sides n = 25

OpenStudy (jessie13):

thanks

Mʻlady has the 1st one

OpenStudy (jessie13):

oh ya!

OpenStudy (universetoast):

For number one you just have to "group" what looks familiar

OpenStudy (universetoast):

So the question is 1*x-x/1 First find what 1*x equals what does it equal?

OpenStudy (universetoast):

Wait, did someone already answer that?

OpenStudy (jessie13):

Nope they only answered #2

OpenStudy (universetoast):

Okay! So lets look at the equation |dw:1458776717418:dw|

OpenStudy (universetoast):

There are two main "groups" x*1 and x/1 Which one do you want to start with?

OpenStudy (jessie13):

x*1

OpenStudy (universetoast):

Okay, so what does anything times one equal?

OpenStudy (jessie13):

well if the number was 1 then it would be one!

OpenStudy (universetoast):

Right! So what would x times one equal?

OpenStudy (jessie13):

x

OpenStudy (universetoast):

So, that brings us to this point:

OpenStudy (universetoast):

|dw:1458776915580:dw|

OpenStudy (universetoast):

Now for the last "group" x/1

OpenStudy (universetoast):

Do you know what that equals?

OpenStudy (jessie13):

x?

OpenStudy (universetoast):

Yup! Which brings us:

OpenStudy (universetoast):

Wait, do you know why?
