OpenStudy (freckles):

Step 1: Get all terms that have a factor of x on one side. This is already done. Step 2: Factor the side that contains the x's so that you have x( stuff) . Let me know what you have after this point.

OpenStudy (freckles):

x(stuff) means x times (stuff)

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

y = 2xz^2 -xy so like a first step factoriz out the x on the right side and will get y = x(2z^2 -y) hope helped

OpenStudy (freckles):

ok jhonny has done that second step I mentioned so you only have one more step left

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

so all i do now is bring x to the other side

OpenStudy (freckles):

which is to isolate x think to undo the multiplication you need to _________ both sides by ______

OpenStudy (freckles):

don't bring x to the other side you want to bring the other stuff next to x on the other side by performing an operation to both sides of the equality

OpenStudy (freckles):

example if 9=3x then we isolate x by dividing both sides by 3 giving us 9/3 =x

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

aren't we solving for x?

OpenStudy (freckles):

yes we are

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

sorry @freckles but i think will be more understandably than you say divide both sides by 2z^2 -y there above what i ve wrote before marcos hope you understand me

OpenStudy (freckles):

I was trying to see if he knew to undo multiplication by dividing both sides is that what you mean @jhonnyy9 ?
