I need help solving these equations
-5s+3s-2s=48
6m=5m-2+m
5d=-2d-24
you need help or you want someone to solve them for you? ;)
please solve : ) thanks
okay well pretty much solve for s in the first question and m for the second question and d in the third and when you think you have the answer plug the number into were the letter is and you should get the exact answer!
for example
5d=-2d-24
get d by itslef!
5d+ 2d= -24 right?
7d=-24
7d/7d=-24/7
d= -24/7
now plug it back into the equation!
5(-24/7)=-2(-24/7)-24
-120/7= -120/7
L.S= R.S
it checks out! no your turn try the other two and I will check it for you good luck!
6m=5m-2+m
umm ugh im so confused
okay well get all the m on on side!
6m=5m-2+m
11m=-2+m
ummm help please haha : )
-5s+3s-2s=48
okay
so add all the s up and then get the s by itself try it and post if you get stuck!
Sure! Let's break down each equation step-by-step to solve for the variables.
Equation 1: -5s + 3s - 2s = 48
First, combine the like terms on the left side of the equation:
-5s + 3s - 2s = -4s
Now the equation becomes:
-4s = 48
To isolate s, divide both sides of the equation by -4:
(-4s) / -4 = 48 / -4
s = -12
So the solution for s in the first equation is s = -12.
Equation 2: 6m = 5m - 2 + m
First, combine the like terms on the right side of the equation:
6m = 6m - 2
Next, subtract 6m from both sides of the equation to isolate m:
6m - 6m = -2
0 = -2
Since the equation leads to a contradiction (0 ≠ -2), there is no solution for m in the second equation.
Equation 3: 5d = -2d - 24
Let's start by isolating d on one side of the equation. First, add 2d to both sides:
5d + 2d = -24
Combine like terms:
7d = -24
To isolate d, divide both sides of the equation by 7:
(7d) / 7 = -24 / 7
d = -24 / 7
So the solution for d in the third equation is d = -24/7.
Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!
