| Question 1072493:  Could someone please check these, I am not sure if I understood them correctly.
 I should solve the equation and check my solution (and of course show my work).
 Problem: 6x-7= 11
 My Answer:
 7+11= 18
 6x= 18/3
 6*3 = 18-7 = 11
 
 Problem: 9y-3(y+4)=18
 My Answer:
 y = 5
 9*5 - 3(5+4)=
 45 - 3*9 = 45-27 =18
 
 Problem: 9-3w=2+4w
 My Answer:
 w=1
 9-3*1=2+4=1
 
 Problem: 3.5x-1 = -1/2(-7x+2)
 I don't know how to do this problem, could someone please help me with it?
 
 Problem: a/5 = 45/15
 My Answer:
 45*5 = 15*a
 45*5/15 = 15*a/15
 22*5/15 = a

 Problem: 4/d = 2/6
 My Answer:
 2/4 = 2
 2 * 2/6 = 12
 d = 12
 
 Problem: r-3/10 = r/13
 I tried doing this one but didn't really understand how it works, maybe someone could explain it to me?
 
 I would be very grateful if someone could look over this for me, since I am not sure if I actually understood and did each problem correctly. Thank you!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Problem: 6x-7= 11 My Answer:
 7+11= 18
 6x= 18/3
 6*3 = 18-7 = 11
 -----------------
 You want to solve for x.
 The answer should be "x = ... something"
 ---
 6x-7= 11
 Add 7
 6x = 18
 Divide by 6
 x = 3
 ====================
 Problem: 9y-3(y+4)=18
 My Answer:
 ------------
 9y-3(y+4)=18
 9y - 3y - 12 = 18
 6y - 12 = 18
 6y = 30
 y = 5
 ======================
 9*5 - 3(5+4)=
 45 - 3*9 = 45-27 =18
 ------------------------------------
 Problem: 9-3w=2+4w
 My Answer:
 w=1
 9-3*1=2+4=1
 ---------------------
 9-3w=2+4w
 Add 3w
 9 = 2+7w
 Subtract 2
 7 = 7w
 w = 1
 ================================
 Problem: 3.5x-1 = -1/2(-7x+2)
 Multiply by 2 to eliminate fractions
 7x-2 = -(-7x+2)
 7x-2 = 7x-2
 x = x
 Any value will work, there's no unique solution.

 I don't know how to do this problem, could someone please help me with it?
 =================================
 Problem: a/5 = 45/15
 My Answer:
 45*5 = 15*a
 45*5/15 = 15*a/15
 22*5/15 = a ---------- Not 22*5, it's 225
 225/15 = a
 a = 15
 ----------------------
 Or do it like this:
 a/5 = 45/15
 a/5 = 3
 a = 15
 ------
