Did you know, that a right angle is 90 degrees?

TETSXPREME:

no i never knew that o:

snowflake0531:

i- okay, now you know that

snowflake0531:

So, how would you solve for x?

TETSXPREME:

3? C:

snowflake0531:

Er-

snowflake0531:

Because the right angle is 90 degrees, that will be the right half of the equation The left will have to be what adds up to 90 Do we agree, that 30+10x is 90 degrees?

TETSXPREME:

Yesh

snowflake0531:

Okay, do you know how to solve for x then 30+10x=90

TETSXPREME:

no?

snowflake0531:

Okay Do you not know at all, or just for this problem for example, would you know how to solve 9x = 81

TETSXPREME:

9

snowflake0531:

Okay, so you do know how to solve for x, just not for this problem, right?

snowflake0531:

In 30+10x=90 How about you first subtract 30 to each side? What would that result?

TETSXPREME:

15 o; if there is 2 sidez

snowflake0531:

?_? 10x+30-30=90-30 Simplify.

snowflake0531:

You could tell me if you don't know? But reply lol

TETSXPREME:

30? i thought u was typing

snowflake0531:

How did you get 30.... First, let's look at the left half 10x+30-30 What is it?

TETSXPREME:

idk 3?

snowflake0531:

*don't take offense, just a real question What grade are you in?

snowflake0531:

Like, I want to know whether you've learned and forgot, or have never learned it

snowflake0531:

Okay Have you learned that something plus the negative of it is 0?

TETSXPREME:

ofc

snowflake0531:

Okay, then please tell me 10x+30-30 what is it?

TETSXPREME:

0?

snowflake0531:

Okay, let's take a back step further, let's separate 10x and -30 +30 What is -30+30

TETSXPREME:

0

snowflake0531:

Okay, and what is 10x+0

TETSXPREME:

i dont understand why is there a x there?

snowflake0531:

Do you know what x is?

snowflake0531:

Have you learned variables yet?

HaydenwH:

x is there bc there is a number missing, u are to find the value of x

TETSXPREME:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @snowflake0531 Have you learned variables yet? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) yurp i just forgot about everything o;

snowflake0531:

Okay

snowflake0531:

x is a replacement for a value that is a __, before you learn about x, we would do, for example 3+ ? =8 subtract 3 from each side, we get that ?=5 but x is a more... sophisticated way of it

HaydenwH:

an easy way to do this is 30+10x=90 then take your answer choices a)6 b)9 c)15 d)3 and sub the answer choices in for x until u get 90 30+10(6)=90 30+10(9)=90 30+10(15)=90 30+10(3)=90 work the problems and ur answer will be the one tht is true, which one rlly ='s 90 degrees?

snowflake0531:

What if there are no choices? You can't teach it like that

TETSXPREME:

A o; woah

HaydenwH:

well u already explained the way without choices, but on act or sum like tht there will be choices and its ab time so im jus showing another "quicker" way

TETSXPREME:

so the answer is A? bruh i thought it was 5

snowflake0531:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @HaydenwH well u already explained the way without choices, but on act or sum like tht there will be choices and its ab time so im jus showing another "quicker" way \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) He has to learn x In algebra, geometry, algebra 2, even in regular life, there aren't choices. Learning x is a necessity You can't just teach everything the quicker way

TETSXPREME:

i likey the quicker way o;

snowflake0531:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @TETSXPREME i likey the quicker way o; \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) You liked the quicker way because you don't need to learn how to actually do it now-_-

TETSXPREME:

HaydenwH:

yes ik tht, but u literally jus explained that, but on the act u dont have time to sit there and write every component out, now he knows both ways not just one

snowflake0531:

Yes- but you should know how to do it

HaydenwH:

snowflake0531:

If you tell him to solve for x, he still doesn't know how without the choices
