x over 2 = -64

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

multiplie both sides by 2 so what will get ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

x -- = - 64 multiply both sides by 2 2 x 2* ( --- ) = 2*(-64) 2

OpenStudy (lex203):

so would we get -2=-128

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

-128 on the right side is correct but on the left side will get what ? 2 from numerator with 2 from denominator what will make ?

OpenStudy (lex203):

4x ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

no there you get 2x ---- = ? 2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so simplify 2 by 2 and will remain there just an x ok. ?

OpenStudy (lex203):

ok

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

and what value will get for x = ?

OpenStudy (lex203):

1? Tbh i suck at math

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what you wrote above like result for the right side ?

OpenStudy (lex203):

for the right side i got -128

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

exactly so this will be the correct value for x x = - 128

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you understand it now ?

OpenStudy (lex203):

oh

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

or you can solve it in this way too x - 64 --- = ----- cross multiply and will get 2 1 1*x = 2*(-64) x = -128 what you like it so much every to ways are correct

OpenStudy (lex203):

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
