@JustSaiyan

Vocaloid:

subtract 16 from both sides

Falconmaster:

@Ultrilliam

Vocaloid:

16 - 4x - 16 = ?

princeevee:

80

Vocaloid:

may I see how you got that answer?

princeevee:

hang on im redoing it

JustSaiyan:

I got x≤5

princeevee:

oh, i had to put in something for X, sorry forgot

Vocaloid:

no you don't, since we don't know what x is

princeevee:

oh

Vocaloid:

let's try re-arranging the question 16 - 16 - 4x = ?

princeevee:

well without it i got -4

princeevee:

-4x

Vocaloid:

good so on the left side we have: -20 <= -4x now divide both sides by -4

JustSaiyan:

@Vocaloid you got this.

princeevee:

okay

Vocaloid:

-4x/(-4) = ?

princeevee:

1

princeevee:

x

Vocaloid:

good x since we divided by a negative number we must flip the direction of the inequality sign

Vocaloid:

so x<= 5

Vocaloid:

(last answer choice)

princeevee:

okay

princeevee:

can you help with some more?

Vocaloid:

sure

distribute: 2(p-3) = ?

Vocaloid:

hint: A(B-C) = A * B - A * C using this same logic 2(p-3) = ?

princeevee:

2p?

Vocaloid:

almost

Vocaloid:

|dw:1505931169469:dw|

Vocaloid:

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

princeevee:

oof, i'm actually a little stumped now

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

princeevee:

-4

Vocaloid:

getting there

princeevee:

p

Vocaloid:

|dw:1505931489712:dw|

Vocaloid:

2*p = 2p 2*3 = 6 so 2(p-3) = 2p - 6 make sense?

princeevee:

4p

Vocaloid:

not 4p since they're not like terms it would just be 2p - 6 make sense?

Vocaloid:

the 2 has a p attached to it but the 6 doesn't so we can't simplify this further

Vocaloid:

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

Vocaloid:

|dw:1505932056914:dw|

Vocaloid:

we have 5 > -6 which is always true so the answer is all real numbers

Vocaloid:

still there?

princeevee:

yeah

Vocaloid:

is there another problem you'd like to work on?

princeevee:

yeah

Vocaloid:

add 15 to the left side, middle, right side a - 15 + 15 = ?

princeevee:

-30?

Vocaloid:

let's just look at the number part for now -15 + 15 = ?

Vocaloid:

hint: you can re-write this as -15 + 15 = 15 - 15 = ?

princeevee:

sorry, my thing is glitching

princeevee:

zero

Vocaloid:

good so a - 15 + 15 = a + 0 = a now let's take a look at the left/right

Vocaloid:

-5 + 15 = 10 2 + 17 so the correct answer has a open circle (not filled in) on 10 and 17

Vocaloid:

10 < a < 17 so answer choice a

Vocaloid:

distribute 2(x+3) think about our earlier problem

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

Vocaloid:

^ using this logic: 2(x+3) = ?

princeevee:

2x

Vocaloid:

see step 2

Vocaloid:

A(B+C) = A*B + A*C 2(x+3) = 2*x + ____ fill in the blank

princeevee:

5?

Vocaloid:

2*3 = ?

princeevee:

6

Vocaloid:

good so 2(x+3) = 2x + 6

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

Vocaloid:

2x + 3 <= -7 subtract 3 from both sides 2x + 3 - 3 = ?

princeevee:

2x

Vocaloid:

good so 2x < = -10 x <= -5 now let's translate this to interval notation

Vocaloid:

x > 0 means (0, infinity) x <= -5 means (-infinity, -5] so the second choice is the answer

Vocaloid:

anything else you'd like to go over?

Vocaloid:

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