What's the question?

OpenStudy (torvela):

nvm

OpenStudy (torvela):

ok which part do you need help on?

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

all of it

OpenStudy (torvela):

ok

OpenStudy (torvela):

ok so do you know how much the t-shirt costs?

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

@zepdrix

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

help me

OpenStudy (torvela):

i can help i know how to do this

OpenStudy (torvela):

ok first if the total is $23 and she spent $12 of that on a book how much would be left over for the t-shirt?

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

11

OpenStudy (torvela):

would it be easier for you if I put it into equation form for you?

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

yes

OpenStudy (torvela):

oh wait you already got it

OpenStudy (torvela):

11 is correct

OpenStudy (torvela):

write that down because that will be the answer to the equation

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

ok

OpenStudy (torvela):

ok i'm assuming you know what the unknown information is

OpenStudy (torvela):

right?

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

no

OpenStudy (torvela):

ok think of it like this

OpenStudy (torvela):

Which number did you not know when you started this?

OpenStudy (torvela):

you knew the total and the cost of the book but which didn't u know

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

11

OpenStudy (torvela):

right which would be the cost of the t-shirt

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

can u tell me the answer i have to go

OpenStudy (torvela):

so the answer to the first part is the cost of the t-shirt

OpenStudy (torvela):

ok

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

or make it fast

OpenStudy (torvela):

for the equation you will write the cost of the book plus the unknown information to get the total

OpenStudy (torvela):

so 12+x=23

OpenStudy (torvela):

and x=11

OpenStudy (torvela):

i think that's all right?

OpenStudy (torvela):

do you understand?

OpenStudy (jalil.h):

yes

OpenStudy (torvela):

ok cool

OpenStudy (torvela):
