So, I did my whole homework assignment, but I'm still stuck on two problems. I have been trying them forever and could really use some help. I know that the answers to these problems, because the answers made a word at the end that I have already figured out. Here are the problems:
1st Problem:
4 - (6x + 6) = - (-2x + 10)
4 - (6x+6) = 2x - 10
6x + 6 = 2x - 14
6x = 2x - 20
4x = -20
x = -5 (which is wrong)
I know the answer is 1, but I've done it many times and I cannot get it.
Problem #2 (the dots are to just hold the numbers in place above and below the fraction)
.......21 + (c - 9)
c + ----------------- = 6 + c
.............4
c + 21 + (c - 9) = 24 + 4c
c - 9 = 3 + 3c
-2c = 12
c = -6
I know the answer is 12, but I've done it many times and I cannot get it.
PLEASE HELP
Thank you,
Jessica
