Opening a new question~

Allison:

http://prntscr.com/gw9u30 Solve for m.

Vocaloid:

so m is being multiplied by c and divided by r. how do we undo this?

Allison:

It would be m divided by c and multiplied by r..?

Vocaloid:

good, so after we apply those operations, we get m by itself on the right side

Vocaloid:

now, we divide E by c and multiply it by r

Allison:

A?

Vocaloid:

yes good

Allison:

http://prntscr.com/gw9w0t Solve for x.

Vocaloid:

so how do you think we can "undo" the + b on the right side?

Allison:

- b?

Vocaloid:

good, that gives us y - b = mx now, how do we get x by itself?

Allison:

Cross out A and B ^-^

Allison:

Sorry, spider attacked -.-

Allison:

Is it C?

Allison:

Is you alive or did my spider come to you? Because I can't find it lol

Vocaloid:

if we have y - b = mx how can we "undo" the multiplication by m?

Allison:

ಠ_ಠ

Vocaloid:

again, think about our calculator example

Vocaloid:

if x is being multiplied by m, then how can we get "x" by itself and "undo" the multiplication?

Allison:

D?

Vocaloid:

please answer my question

Vocaloid:

we have mx how can we "get rid of" the m?

Allison:

Division?!

Vocaloid:

yes, divide by m

Vocaloid:

y - b = mx now divide both sides by m and let me know what you get

Allison:

There's no numbers, how do I divide letters???

Vocaloid:

write a division sign then write m in the denominator

Allison:

y-b/m

Vocaloid:

remember that variables are just letters that stand for numbers, you can perform operations too

Vocaloid:

good, don't forget the parentheses

Vocaloid:

(y-b)/m = x which answer choice matches?

Allison:

There's no parentheses .-.

Allison:

D.

Vocaloid:

good, D

Vocaloid:

the reason we add parentheses is that y - b/m implies that only b is divided by m we want to divide the entire expression by m, so we write (y-b)/m

Allison:

These are hard. Worse quiz ever.

Vocaloid:

@sillybilly123 do you mind taking over for a bit, I need to go
