Question 1103022: WRITING THE EQUATION OF A LINE
Why wouldnt i use order of operations in this equation? If i did the answer would be x=1 yet its 4 because the addition was applied first??
Solve for x when y is equal to 0.
y = 1/4x − 1
0 = 1/4x − 1
0 + 1 = 1/4x − 1 + 1
1 = 1/4x
4 � (1) = (1/4x) � 4
4 = x?

Question 1103023: Why wouldnt i use order of operations in this equation? If i did the answer would be x=1 yet its 4 because the addition was applied first??
Solve for x when y is equal to 0.
y = 1/4x - 1
0 = 1/4x - 1
0 + 1 = 1/4x - 1 + 1
1 = 1/4x
4 � (1) = (1/4x) � 4
4 = x?
==============
AL SAYS:
Not clear why you have a question.
y = (1/4)x - 1 = 0
(1/4)x - 1 = 0
(1/4)x =1
x = 4
BUT i still am confused he just stated the same problem i asked, i am confused on why the addition of one on both sides is done BEFORE the multiplication of 4 on both sides, PEMDAS or aka order of ops says multilpication b4 addition.... PLZ HELP ME!!!(:
