OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Is that a cat?

jabez177 (jabez177):

3.

jabez177 (jabez177):

Cat emoji haha.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

The second part is wrong

iYuko (iyuko):

I can just tell you that they added 20 to the 60

iYuko (iyuko):

should have been subtraction

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

-26x= -34x +80 is wrong

jabez177 (jabez177):

Okay so I can write, "Step 2 is incorrect because they were supposed to subtract 20, not add."

jabez177 (jabez177):

Right? :)

iYuko (iyuko):

yea

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I would then I would show how to solve it correctly

iYuko (iyuko):

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Destinyyyy I would then I would show how to solve it correctly \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Yup

jabez177 (jabez177):

Ohhhh yeee... That'll give me extra points, won't it? haha I know how to solve it. :) Let me just write it down then I'll ask one of you to check. :)

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Okay.. It might if your teachers nice

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Need any help?

iYuko (iyuko):

Is this Pre-Algebra?

iYuko (iyuko):

Or Algebra 1?

jabez177 (jabez177):

I think I messed up somewhere... 😕

jabez177 (jabez177):

Algebra 1

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yes you messed up

jabez177 (jabez177):

ugh lol

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Why did you put 6x?

iYuko (iyuko):

Add the 34x to the 6x

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

20- 26x = -34x +60 -20 -20 -26x= -34x +40

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Then you should add 34x to -26x

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Your mistake was writing 6x when it should be a -26x

jabez177 (jabez177):

wait wait... add -34x to the -26x right?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yes you change it to a positive when it crosses the equal sign

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

-26x = -34x +40 + 34x +34x +40 ----------------- 8x =40

jabez177 (jabez177):

wawitttt
