@dude help me please

dude:

\(14.95+.75x=191.95\) Is your equation

theghost22:

@dude I already knew that I need to know the miles he drove

dude:

Just solve for x, do you know how to do that?

theghost22:

No tbh I just want this done

dude:

First subtract 14,95 on both sides

theghost22:

ok could you give me what I'm supposed to subract

dude:

I just did? O.o

dude:

14.95-14.95 on the left side and 191.95-14.95 on the right? No?

theghost22:

so like this|dw:1536702488838:dw|

dude:

\(14.95+.75x=191.95\\\ -14.95~~~~~~~~~-14.95\) I have no idea if this will work because I’m on mobile

theghost22:

ok could I get the answer please?

dude:

Rules don’t let me give direct answer

theghost22:

ok well then what am i subtracting from the right side 14.95 and the 14.95?

dude:

Yes on the right side you are subtracting 14.95

theghost22:

ok well those cancel out each other

dude:

On the left yes, so you’re left with \(.75x=177\)

theghost22:

so I subtract 177 and 14.95

dude:

Low battery atm

dude:

Not quite

dude:

Divide both sides by .75

theghost22:

so 177 and .75

dude:

\(\frac{177}{.75}\)

dude:

Yes

theghost22:

236 is my answer?

dude:

Right

dude:

Now I have to go, I’m at 2% battery

theghost22:

ok bye
