MEDAL TO FIRST HELP

OpenStudy (codingking03):

Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) + 6.

OpenStudy (xguardians):

Do you know how to distribute?

OpenStudy (codingking03):

yes

OpenStudy (codingking03):

the problem is

OpenStudy (codingking03):

I don't know what I'm doing i checked and got 6 but others got 1 and here is the thing: none of those are the answer

OpenStudy (dayakar):

can u show ur work

OpenStudy (xguardians):

Try showing your work here.

OpenStudy (codingking03):

ok

OpenStudy (xguardians):

I'll show you how to do the first one 3(x + 1) = 3x + 3

OpenStudy (codingking03):

3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) + 6 3x+3= -2(x-1)+6 3x+3=-2x+8 5x=5 x=1 I got 1 now but that is not a choice

OpenStudy (xguardians):

When you distribute the -2 you forgot to multiply -1 by the -2

OpenStudy (codingking03):

ok

OpenStudy (warfare432):

Solution 1 Expand 3x+3=−2x+2+6 2 Simplify −2x+2+6 to −2x+8 3x+3=−2x+8 3 Subtract 3 from both sides 3x=−2x+8−3 4 Simplify −2x+8−3 to −2x+5 3x=−2x+5 5 Add 2x to both sides 3x+2x=5 6 Simplify 3x+2x to 5x 5x=5 7 Divide both sides by 5 x=1

OpenStudy (xguardians):

3x + 3 = −2(x − 1) + 6. Step 1 3x + 3 = -2x + 2 + 6 Step 2, distribute other one 3x + 3 = -2x + 8 Step 3, combine like factors 3x = -2x + 5 subtract 3 from both sides 5x = 5 add 2x to both sides x = 5/5 x=1 Check your work against this.

OpenStudy (warfare432):

Answer = x=1

OpenStudy (codingking03):

ok i guess it is an answers glitch

OpenStudy (warfare432):

1 Expand 3x+3=−2x+2+6 2 Simplify −2x+2+6 to −2x+8 3x+3=−2x+8 3 Subtract 3 from both sides 3x=−2x+8−3 4 Simplify −2x+8−3 to −2x+5 3x=−2x+5 5 Add 2x to both sides 3x+2x=5 6 Simplify 3x+2x to 5x 5x=5 7 Divide both sides by 5 x=1

OpenStudy (warfare432):

Please give medal

OpenStudy (codingking03):

guardian give warfare a medal pls he helped too

OpenStudy (xguardians):

No, warfare is begging for medals everywhere, I will not medal him.

OpenStudy (codingking03):

umm just for now fine warfare can u give x guardian a medal and i will give u his?

OpenStudy (xguardians):

Look at the qualified helper questions, I answered it, and a day later he posts a solution and begs for medals.

OpenStudy (warfare432):

since my answers are better then yours

OpenStudy (xguardians):

https://gyazo.com/2b216974c04d74d046f76477d03002e7 I wish I could remove medals.

OpenStudy (codingking03):

OpenStudy (codingking03):

OpenStudy (codingking03):

BYE

hartnn (hartnn):

medals are just token of appreciation for help :) don't get mad over it lol

OpenStudy (xguardians):

@hartnn, Yes I understand that, but @warfare432 is begging for them on multiple threads which is completely unnecessary and are awarded when a user believes they are worthy. Then he turns around and disrespects me is inappropriate.

OpenStudy (xguardians):
