Question

My Math problem is hard

Answer 1

\[-5x = 20 \times -1/5\]

Answer 2

Is this Solving Two-Step Equations?

Answer 3

1st: Find the variable (The letter)
2nd: Find the Coefficient
3rd: Make the Variable ONE x instead of more
4th: If it is multiplying or dividing negative numbers you want to reverse the sign
5th: Graph your answer
6th: Check your answer

+ Properties: Add the number that shows like for ex: 12x +5 blah 678 The 5 you would change into subtraction and subtract that number from both sides of 5 and 678

- Properties: Subtract the number that shows like for ex: 12x -5 blah 678 The 5 you would
change into addition and add that number from both sides of 5 and 678

Answer 4

Multiplying and Dividing: Positive number will remain true, negative number will change the sign (Like for ex: Greater than or Less Than) BUT the answer will still be true

Answer 5

so i got this as my answer

Answer 6

\[\frac{ 39 }{ 5 } \]

Answer 7

-1/5 X -5x= -1/5 X 39

Answer 8

but the answer is negative

Answer 9

1
Simplify —
5
1
0 - (— • (5x - 20))
5
3.1 5x - 20 = 5 • (x - 4) 0 - (x - 4)= 4 - x


This is what I got.

Answer 10

Top is 1/5 not 1 _
5

Answer 11

thanks for your help rylee88

Answer 12

You're Very Welcome!

Answer 13

Huh?

I am not sure what you did but its not too complicated

\(-5x = 20 \times -\dfrac15\)

\(20 \times -\dfrac15\) can we rewritten as \(-\dfrac{20}{5}\) which is just -4

Then you have
\(-5x=-4\)

You multiply by its inverse or divide by the coefficient

\(x=\dfrac45\)

You do not need to pay attention to sign change because it is not an inequality. Only make sure you know how to multiply/divide by negatives
