https://questioncove.com/study#/updates/608dbe8b5b828f43d548ec00 this may help u Also it may be easier to get rid of the fraction so i suggest you time 3 on both sides before proceeding

xXQuintonXx:

e.e can u just help me? with dis so i dont have to read all of that

crispyrat:

sure but read it afterwards so u know how to do problems like it so first times 3 to get rid of fraction!

crispyrat:

then get all the variables on one side and numbers on the other! you do this by doing the opposite of what the thing has for example 3x-5=10 since it's -5 you wanna add 5 to both sides then combine like terms and divide both sides by the constant

xXQuintonXx:

ya lost me

xXQuintonXx:

sry just having problems consentraiting rn

crispyrat:

ok can u first times 3?

xXQuintonXx:

to both -2 and -2 ?

xXQuintonXx:

*-2 and -2x?

crispyrat:

everything!

crispyrat:

its an equation! the same on both sides

xXQuintonXx:

so now it's -6 and -6x

crispyrat:

well no the 3 on bottom and top would cancel out so you would have -2-2x=-24?

crispyrat:

now you want to move all the numbers to one side and varibles to the other

xXQuintonXx:

so -2 - (-24) = -2x?

crispyrat:

close but think about it to remove something you would want to do the opposite 5x-9=10 if i minus 9 from both sides it doesn't cancel out

xXQuintonXx:

ngl ya lost me

crispyrat:

-2-2x=-24 if i wanted to get rid of -2 what would i do?

xXQuintonXx:

make it a positive 2?

crispyrat:

yes so do that to both sides and what do u get

xXQuintonXx:

-24?

crispyrat:

-24+2=-24???

xXQuintonXx:

-22

xXQuintonXx:

?

crispyrat:

yes so -2x=-22 so x=-22/-2

crispyrat:

can you do that from there

xXQuintonXx:

11

xXQuintonXx:

bc a negative and a negative make a positive

crispyrat:
