OpenStudy (jakob):

Torvela i am lost

OpenStudy (torvela):

ok fill in x

OpenStudy (torvela):

which will give you...

OpenStudy (jakob):

No dont give me i want to now how to do this just start me off with step 1

OpenStudy (torvela):

ok first jakob start by filling it in so do -2 times 20

OpenStudy (jakob):

-40

OpenStudy (torvela):

next, just rewrite it so you don't get confused

OpenStudy (torvela):

jakob i want you to write it just so i can make sure you do it right

OpenStudy (jakob):

so -40+4y right?

OpenStudy (torvela):

yes

OpenStudy (torvela):

-40+4y=-4

OpenStudy (torvela):

no lets start with the -40 since it doesn't have a variable

OpenStudy (torvela):

now*

OpenStudy (jakob):

alright

OpenStudy (torvela):

since its a negative what do you think you should do next

OpenStudy (jakob):

Make it into a positive?

OpenStudy (torvela):

well sorta but not what i was going for

OpenStudy (torvela):

since its a negative you add it to -4 instead of subtracting it from -4

OpenStudy (torvela):

does that make sense?

OpenStudy (jakob):

yeah so -44

OpenStudy (jakob):

so y=-11 right?
