crispyrat:

so this means that the two equations are equal so 60x+10=40x+70 then you want to get all the x's on one side and the numbers on the other

crispyrat:

60x+10=40x+70 you cancel out x by doing 60x-40x+10=40x-40x+70 what do you get then

deathscarewolf:

20x+10=70?

crispyrat:

yes now cancel out the numbers by doing 20x+10-10=70-10

deathscarewolf:

20x = 60

crispyrat:

ok now divide both sides by 20

deathscarewolf:

x=30?

crispyrat:

60/20 does not equal 30

deathscarewolf:

x=3

crispyrat:

yes theres the answer ^-^

crispyrat:

wait no ok so 3 hours then plug that into on of the equations

crispyrat:

3*60+10=?

deathscarewolf:
