Question 131669: I think thisa is the right section, anyways,
the problem is...
lets say,
Eg. 11(3x+9)=104
-ino how to do these its just that, (it dosent let you do it on the computer)its the fraction ones i need help with, you no like the example, but then it is divided too.
I always seem to get these wrong in class.
Thanks a bunch
please reply A.S.A.P
thanks a banana,

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Step 1: Remove parentheses by distributive property.
11%283x%2B9%29=104+
33x%2B99=104

Step 2: Get all variable terms on one side and number terms on the other. That is, subtract 99 from each side.
33x%2B99-99=104-99
33x=5

Step 3: Divide both sides by the coefficient of x.
%2833x%29%2F33=5%2F33
x=5%2F33

For additional explanations, please see my own website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com. Click on the first link on my home page, which is "Basic and Intermediate Algebra: One Step at a Time." Then go to Chapter 1 of my Basic Algebra, and look for Section 1.08 Basic Equation Solving. There you will find an explanation you can finally understand!! No extra charge for keeping it simple!! See also my MATH IN LIVING COLOR sections.
