solve x

[crisp maple]

again?

[warm turtle]

Yes

[warm turtle]

Can u work it out

[crisp maple]

why?

they already did

[cold cipher]

You know how to solve them

3/4 different people went through it

[crisp maple]

6x+3=15x+45

there

now rearrange

to make x the subject

[peak siren]

Multiply eaxch side by 5

[warm turtle]

I did that bit

[crisp maple]

ok so

-9x=42

9x=-42

[peak siren]

Collect the like terms

[crisp maple]

x=-42/9

or 42/-9

same thing once again

[warm turtle]

Yeh I did that too

Icl

[peak siren]

So that's right

[warm turtle]

But he hegartys telling me it’s -14/3 ??

[peak siren]

Oh it says improper fraction

[crisp maple]

yes

cause it simplifies

[peak siren]

If u divide by 3

Each term

[warm turtle]

Ohhh

[crisp maple]

if u type in -42/9 on your calculator it will simplify to -14/3

[warm turtle]

What does 7x+8/2 = 9x +1 give you?

[crisp maple]

this guy 💀

[warm turtle]

??

Iam not a guy 😂😂

[crisp maple]

ur making us do your hw 😭

[warm turtle]

No 👀

I just need help

[crisp maple]

do it and i'll tell u if ur doing it right

[warm turtle]

Tell me the answer so I can check ma work

[crisp maple]

ok what answer did u get

[peak siren]

Lol

[warm turtle]

No it’s probably wrong

[crisp maple]

doesnt matter

i wanna know what u got

[warm turtle]

Bruh just tell me

[peak siren]

What happens when you minus 7x on each side

[warm turtle]

Okay before they tell u- did u multiply both sides by the denominator

[warm turtle]

Yes

[peak siren]

You get 8/2 = 2x + 1 right ?

[warm turtle]

Okay, what did you get

[warm turtle]

There’s a denominator

[peak siren]

Where

[warm turtle]

7x+8=18x+2

[peak siren]

Then you take away 1 from each side to give you 3 = 2x

[peak siren]

Oh

do the same steps anyways

[warm turtle]

okay that’s good, now try and collect like terms

[crisp maple]

good now subtract 7x from both sides

[warm turtle]

Yeh I did that but I just wanted the answer

To see if I was right

Just tell us what u got after u subtracted 7x

I subtracted 1 first

[crisp maple]

there's no 1

its a 2

[peak siren]

nito

[mellow spade]

is this the same question

[crisp maple]

no

[mellow spade]

dayum

[peak siren]

Lol nah

[warm turtle]

Hm, where was the one from

Right at the end of the question

[crisp maple]

before u multiplied both sides by 2

this is what ur looking at now

[warm turtle]

Oh

[crisp maple]

not the original one

[crisp maple]

so u should get 11x=6

[crisp maple]

close

wrong way round

answer should be 6/11

[warm turtle]

How 😭

[crisp maple]

ill work it out for u and send u a screenshot

one sec

[mellow spade]

i got -6/11

confusion

wait its not mb

[crisp maple]

@warm turtle

[warm turtle]

Okay

Ty
