16 - 4x - 16 = ?

Vocaloid:
may I see how you got that answer?

princeevee:
hang on im redoing it

princeevee:
oh, i had to put in something for X, sorry forgot
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
no you don't, since we don't know what x is
8 years ago
princeevee:
oh
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
let's try re-arranging the question
16 - 16 - 4x = ?
8 years ago
princeevee:
well without it i got -4

princeevee:
-4x
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
good
so on the left side we have:
-20 <= -4x
now divide both sides by -4
8 years ago
JustSaiyan:
@Vocaloid you got this.
8 years ago
princeevee:
okay
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
-4x/(-4) = ?

princeevee:
x
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
good x
since we divided by a negative number we must flip the direction of the inequality sign
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
so x<= 5

Vocaloid:
(last answer choice)

Vocaloid:
hint:
A(B-C) = A * B - A * C
using this same logic
2(p-3) = ?
8 years ago
princeevee:
2p?

Vocaloid:
almost

Vocaloid:
if A = 2
B = p
C = 3
then 2(p-3) = ?

princeevee:
oof, i'm actually a little stumped now
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
if A(B-C) = A*B - A*C
replace "A" with "2"
replace "B" with "p"
replace "C" with "3"
and calculate A*B - A*C
8 years ago
princeevee:
-4

Vocaloid:
getting there

Vocaloid:
2*p = 2p
2*3 = 6
so 2(p-3) = 2p - 6 make sense?
8 years ago
princeevee:
4p
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
not 4p
since they're not like terms it would just be 2p - 6 make sense?
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
the 2 has a p attached to it but the 6 doesn't so we can't simplify this further
8 years ago

Vocaloid:
so we have:
2p + 5 > 2p - 6
now erase 2p from both sides, what's left?

Vocaloid:
|dw:1505932056914:dw|
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
we have 5 > -6
which is always true so the answer is all real numbers
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
still there?

princeevee:
yeah

Vocaloid:
is there another problem you'd like to work on?
8 years ago
princeevee:
yeah

princeevee:

Vocaloid:
add 15 to the left side, middle, right side
a - 15 + 15 = ?
8 years ago
princeevee:
-30?

Vocaloid:
let's just look at the number part for now
-15 + 15 = ?
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
hint: you can re-write this as
-15 + 15 = 15 - 15 = ?
8 years ago
princeevee:
sorry, my thing is glitching
8 years ago
princeevee:
zero
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
good
so a - 15 + 15 = a + 0 = a
now let's take a look at the left/right
8 years ago

Vocaloid:
-5 + 15 = 10
2 + 17
so the correct answer has a open circle (not filled in) on 10 and 17
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
10 < a < 17
so answer choice a

Vocaloid:
distribute 2(x+3)
think about our earlier problem
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
A(B+C) = A*B + A*C
step 1: take the number outside the parentheses
multiply it by the first thing in the parentheses
step 2:take the number outside the parentheses
multiply it by the second thing in the parentheses
step3: add your answers from step 1 and 2

^ using this logic:
2(x+3) = ?
8 years ago
princeevee:
2x
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
see step 2
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
A(B+C) = A*B + A*C
2(x+3) = 2*x + ____
fill in the blank

2*3 = ?
8 years ago
princeevee:
6
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
good
so 2(x+3) = 2x + 6
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
now we hvae:
2x + 6 > 6
let's subtract 6 from both sides
2x > 0
divide by 2
x > 0
now let's move to the second part of the question
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
2x + 3 <= -7
subtract 3 from both sides
2x + 3 - 3 = ?

princeevee:
2x
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
good
so 2x < = -10
x <= -5
now let's translate this to interval notation
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
x > 0 means (0, infinity)
x <= -5 means (-infinity, -5]
so the second choice is the answer
8 years ago
Vocaloid:
anything else you'd like to go over?

Vocaloid:
well I have work to do, good job and see you later
