add it...?
Arcadiouse (arcadiouse):
Yes!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that didnt make 2. tho
Arcadiouse (arcadiouse):
So that means you will add 1. Which answer do you put as 1. No? because -1 + 1 = 0
OpenStudy (welshfella):
where you have say - 1 on left side of equation then you add 1
if you have a positive number on left side you subtract the positive number
eg if you add 3 + x then you subtract 3 - or putting it another way ,add -3.

I still dont get it @welshfella how 2m=3m gets to number 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@welshfella
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@welshfella
Arcadiouse (arcadiouse):
@sheyennepowell_ You add +1 to the 3m. What ever you do to the left side, you must do to the right side.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but it would be 4m? @Arcadiouse

No. It would be 2m = 3m +1

are you kidding me @welshfella
OpenStudy (welshfella):
i'll do the first one for you
2m - 1 = 3m
the first step is to get the terms with m on right side
to do this we subtract 2m for both sides
2m -2m - 1 = 3m - 2m
so the first one pairs up with 'subtract 2m'
what you need to do is isolate the variable on one side of each equation
OpenStudy (welshfella):
3. m - 1 = 2
here you add 1
m - 1 + 1 = 2 + 1
m = 3
so this pairs up with add 1
