@518nad @KJSaif @welshfella

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

I think the value of x is 32.

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

Am I even close to right?

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

@.Sam.

@Destinyyyy

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

@welshfella Give me some help...

KjSaif (kjsaif):

hmmmmm not quite with x @Ebayminer126

KjSaif (kjsaif):

these are the steps @Ebayminer126

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

KjSaif (kjsaif):

(3/4)(x)+(3/4)(−12)=12(Distribute) 3/4x+−9=12 3/4x−9=12

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Step 2: Add 9 to both sides.

KjSaif (kjsaif):

3/4x−9+9=12+9 3/4x=21

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 4/3.

KjSaif (kjsaif):

(4/3)*(3/4x)=(4/3)*(21)

KjSaif (kjsaif):

reading ALL of this the answer x=28

KjSaif (kjsaif):

is*

KjSaif (kjsaif):

this is just for x

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

@KJSaif Thanks can you help me with part 2?

KjSaif (kjsaif):

sure! now what do you think is the answer for y? :)

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

Let me try to work it out.

KjSaif (kjsaif):

take your time :)

KjSaif (kjsaif):

need a little help?

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Add 12 to both sides.

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

Okay

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

so now we have 12.75y - 24 now what sorry I'm terrible at math. :/

KjSaif (kjsaif):

hmmmm......did you get this? 3/4y−12+12=12+12

KjSaif (kjsaif):

3/4y=24

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

Okay can you explain the process to get the answer to any of these questions slowly? I'm not that good at math .-.

KjSaif (kjsaif):

okay :)

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

Thanks @KJSaif

KjSaif (kjsaif):

34y+−12+12=12+12 (34y)+(−12+12)=(12+12) (Combine Like Terms) 34y=24

KjSaif (kjsaif):

correction: 3/4y=24

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

Okay I see thanks a lot @KJSaif

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 4/3.

OpenStudy (ebayminer126):

May I ask why 4/3?

KjSaif (kjsaif):

(4/3)*(3/4y)=(4/3)*(24)

KjSaif (kjsaif):

y=32

KjSaif (kjsaif):

@Ebayminer126

KjSaif (kjsaif):

x=28

KjSaif (kjsaif):

and y=32

KjSaif (kjsaif):

sorry i had internet lag
