what is Y for all the equations? y + 6 = 3 y/2 = -6 -3y = -9 y - 3 = 9

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

plz help

jimthompson5910:

y+6 = 3 How can we undo that "plus 6"?

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

like u gotta find out what Y is for all them

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

like "Y = ?

jimthompson5910:

Here's a similar example y+8 = 20 y+8-8 = 20-8 .... subtract 8 from both sides y = 12 We subtracted 8 from both sides to undo the "plus 8" in the original equation Using those steps, how would we solve y+6 = 3?

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

idk

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

@Shadow

jimthompson5910:

we can subtract 6 from both sides, agreed?

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

ye

jimthompson5910:

what do we get when we subtract 6 from both sides?

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

idk

jimthompson5910:

|dw:1606944744984:dw|

jimthompson5910:

Subtracting 6 from both sides gets us |dw:1606944770500:dw|

@TannerH2004

jimthompson5910:

notice on the left side we have 6-6 go to 0 so it cancels out |dw:1606944797568:dw| on the right side you need to evaluate what 3-6 is equal to

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

??

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

id understand what ur tryin to do

jimthompson5910:

Let's say you're at an elevation 3 feet above sea level We'll represent this with a vertical number line |dw:1606944977867:dw| now let's say we want to go down 6 feet vertically where on the number will we end up? Start at 3 and move down 6 units

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

i'm new to this stuff just started

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

it is just about due

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

i need it done quickly

jimthompson5910:

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

TANNER!, lol

jimthompson5910:

That diagram shows 3-6 is equal to -3 So y+6 = 3 solves to y = -3

TannerH2004:

hang on man

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

k

TannerH2004:

thats wrong srry

TannerH2004:

its y=-3

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

the 1st one?

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

?

TannerH2004:

yeah

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

k

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

?

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

I'm confuzzled

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

nvm

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:

i got all of em right yes

TannerH2004:

TannerH2004:

ok then good job

xXDeMoNCHILDXx:
