Algebra Help!!!!!!!!

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-07-01] [Hit: ]
..you cant cheat. Youre never gonna learn if you just expect others to do it for you.You always want to get x to stand alone. So on the first one youve got to divide 3x by 3 to make it stand alone.......
6)3x= -6
7)3x= -18
8)Solve: -1/2 x=10= -x+12
9)2(x+2)-(x+1)=8
10)-3x-5=16
11)
12)5(x+8=7(x-2)
13)Solve: 2(x+1)= -4
14)Explain the process for solving:3-5(x+2)=3(x+1)+6
15) What does it mean for a number to be a solution?

-
solved asnwers
6)-6/3= x=-2

7) -18/3= x=-6

8).3/2x=-2 x=4/3

9)2x+4-x-1=8 x=5

10) -3x=21
21/3 x=-7

11
12) Im assuming 5(x+8)=7(x-2)
5x+40=7x-14
54=2x
54/2=x x=27

13)2x +2= -4
2x=-6
-6/2= x=-3

14)use distributive identity to seperat 5(x+2) to 5x+10.
do the same thing with 3(x+1)
combine like terms, make one side have x and the other have numbers
then solve by division

15)It solves the problem. It makes both sides of the equation true

Ok...you can't cheat. You're never gonna learn if you just expect others to do it for you.

You always want to get x to stand alone. So on the first one you've got to divide 3x by 3 to make it stand alone. But what you do to one side of the equal sign, you have to do to the other

x= -6/3 (so do the math)

For the ones with parenthesis, you want to simplify it as much as possible. For example on #13 divide both sides by 2 and you'll be able to cancel 2.
So it will look like this: x+1= -4/2
Multiplication and division always comes before addition and subtraction
A way to remember the order you should go in say this: "Please excuse my dear aunt sally"
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

These are all so simple, have you even properly looked at them?
