excuse me?

please post your question, not a picture of a baby in a toilet.

soryy

sorry*

I cant take photos

on this computer

I need help with my maths though

[dusty void]

then how can we help you

[modest pollen]

Im not able to do no photo for my question

[modest pollen]

how do I solve this question

6 ( 5/6 X - 2/3 ) = -9

(the X is not apart of the fraction)

thank you

[dusty void]

do you mean

$6( \frac{5}{6} x - \frac{2}{3} ) = -9$

yepp

[dusty void]

alrightt

in an equation, you can divide the both sides with same number, as long as its not 0

and that 6 looks annoying there

so why dont you divide both sides to 6

[modest pollen]

okay

[dusty void]

$\frac{6}{6}( \frac{5}{6} x - \frac{2}{3} ) = \frac{-9}{6}$

[stray bane]

Calculus is ∫exy #Justice4Viata

[dusty void]

like this

[modest pollen]

here let me do that rq

okay

[dusty void]

what did u find

[modest pollen]

(5/6 X - 2/3) = -1,5

[dusty void]

$\frac{5}{6} x - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{-3}{2}$

okay since we got rid of the 6, its easier now

[stray bane]

Calculus is ∫exy #Justice4Viata

[modest pollen]

what do we get rid of now

[dusty void]

what do you think we should

[modest pollen]

the 2/3

[dusty void]

perfect

and how do we do that

[modest pollen]

i need to go -2/3 + 2/3 and I need to go -3/2 2/3

[dusty void]

$\frac{5}{6} x = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{3}{2}$

[stray bane]

Calculus is ∫exy #Justice4Viata

[dusty void]

hmhm and now?

[modest pollen]

here ill do it quickly

wait am I additioning the 2/3 with the -3/2

[dusty void]

additioning the 2/3 with -3/2 is same as substarcting 2/3 from 3/2

[modest pollen]

oh ok thanks

[dusty void]

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{-3}{2}$

[stray bane]

Calculus is ∫exy #Justice4Viata

[modest pollen]

is it 5/6 X = 5/6

[dusty void]

almost

[modest pollen]

ohh i forgot the -

[dusty void]

$\frac{5}{6} x = \frac{4}{6} - \frac{9}{6}$

[stray bane]

Calculus is ∫exy #Justice4Viata

[dusty void]

yupp

[modest pollen]

5/6 X = - 5/6

[dusty void]

so whats x??

[modest pollen]

do I need to first get rid of the 5/6 on the left ?

[dusty void]

hold on

[modest pollen]

ok

[dusty void]

$\frac{5}{6} x = - \frac{5}{6}$

[stray bane]

Calculus is ∫exy #Justice4Viata

[dusty void]

right?

[modest pollen]

yep

[dusty void]

i want you to think this

$2$ x $1$ = $2$

right? so simple

[stray bane]

Calculus is ∫exy #Justice4Viata

[dusty void]

$2$ x $-1$ = $-2$

[stray bane]

Calculus is ∫exy #Justice4Viata

[dusty void]

so if we mutliply something with -1, we would get the negative of that same number

[modest pollen]

yeah

[dusty void]

so

$\frac{5}{6} x = - \frac{5}{6}$

[stray bane]

Calculus is ∫exy #Justice4Viata

[dusty void]

what can x be, according to that logic

[modest pollen]

• 5/6

-5/6

[dusty void]

hm

[modest pollen]

here let me try doing it on paper

[dusty void]

no no just listen me

no paper needed

[modest pollen]

ok

[dusty void]

same number, mutplied by -1, i got same number but just in negative form

so here

$\frac{5}{6} x = - \frac{5}{6}$

[stray bane]

Calculus is ∫exy #Justice4Viata

[dusty void]

i am multiplying 5/6 with a number, that its gonna give me the negative form of the same number

what number that can be

[modest pollen]

either -1 or -5/6

[dusty void]

why 5/6

[modest pollen]

because the - form of the number on the left is -5/6 and I need to get rid of the left side to single it out

[dusty void]

$\frac{5}{6}$ x $\frac{-5}{6}$ = $- \frac{25}{36}$

[stray bane]

Calculus is ∫exy #Justice4Viata

[dusty void]

and -25/36 is not equal to -5/6

[dusty void]

why are you getting rid of it, when you are doing an equation, dont immedietly think of elimating. This is a balanace scale, as long as you add, multiply, divide, substarct things from both sides, you can solve it

so if we mutliply something with -1, we would get the negative of that same number

so if

im multiplying 5/6 with x, and i get -5/6, the same number but just in negative form, what can x possibly be

[modest pollen]

-1

[dusty void]

exactly

[modest pollen]

ohhh that makes way more sense

[dusty void]

right

[modest pollen]

thank you for that

[dusty void]

you are welcome

[modest pollen]

your a really good teacher dude

big W

[dusty void]

you are a good student thats why! I'm glad I helped

[modest pollen]

have a nice day ! I think ill be able to do good tmrw now

[dusty void]

i believe in you! Have a nice day too and good luck tomorrow
