Asked by Briana
- ok... we keep getting this one wrong:
Solve the following equation for x. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
-6(x-5)=-2x-8-6(3x-5)
What is it you don't understand about this? Clear the parentheses, combine terms, solve for x.
Ive been doing that but i keep getting the wrong answer
What answer have you been getting?
a lot of different ones, like 19/7
I get -4/7 but I didn't check my work. Post your work and I'll check it and find the error.
- we just got -4/7
Check it to make sure it is right.
ok - thanks- i think we were just adding all wrong
yeah- it was- Thanks!
