Question

i need help on math

Answer 1

In this equation, we are trying to find the variable x

The first step is to isolate the variable on one side

so what you would do is inverse operations

Answer 2

First you would subtract 4 on both sides as what you do on one side, you do on the other

Answer 3

Doing so, 4 and 4 cancel out and subtracting from a negative is adding to it while the sign stays the same

Answer 4

SO far, do you understand?

Answer 5

yes i do and tysm

Answer 6

welc

Next as you can see, x still isn't by itself, so we need to remove the number 3

3x is the operation of multiplication, meaning you would divide 3 on both sides

3 and 3 cancel out and -15 divided by 3 equals -5 as the operation of dividing or multiplying a negative leaves the sign the same

Answer 7

ok, thx again for helping me, is there anything else for that

Answer 8

And if you'd like to check your work, you can plug in -5 to where x is



When you add a positive to a negative, you are basically adding it but keeping the sign the same if the number which you are adding isnt higher

Answer 9

sorry i meant -11*

Answer 10

its okay, if may i ask is this right?

Answer 11

Ah ic, create another post for the image you just posted

Answer 12

this one

Answer 13

ok thx i just wanted to make sure if i was right

Answer 14

You are right with the first one as the white rectangles equals x and there are 6 of them

Answer 15

Correct with the second one as the black rectangles equal -x and there are 4 of them

Answer 16

Correct with the 3rd one as the white rectangle equals x and there is 1 of them(you dont have to put 1 with the x as the variable x without an exponent or a number higher than 1 equals to 1)and there are 3 black boxes which equal to -3

Answer 17

COrrect with the 4th one as the wwhite rectangles equal to x and there are 5 of them with 1 black box which is negative

Answer 18

You are WRONG with the 5th one because there are no rectangles to represent x

It would just be -11

Answer 19

Wrong with the 6th one because the boxes represent whole numbers, so it would just be 9

there is no rectangle to represent the variable x

Answer 20

7th one is correct(you dont have to put 1 with the x as the variable x without an exponent or a number higher than 1 equals to 1)

It is -1x + 7

Answer 21

Last one is 4x + 5 because there are 4 white rectangles and 5 white boxes

Answer 22

The legend is telling you that the white rectangles represent positive x, the black rectangles represent negative x, the white boxes represent a positive whole number, and the black boxes represent a negative whole number

Answer 23

When you write 1x, it just means that any value multiplied by 1 is always equal to itself
