So algebra becomes less frustrating if you focus on the fact that these are more concepts and patterns rather than actual numbers that you're trying to figure out. Instead of finding one specific solution, you're looking for a solvable pattern that will work if you substitute the letters for numbers, if that makes sense. So let's think (btw, I'm pretty sure your teacher made a mistake, since I looked it up online, and it looks like that should be a 3 at the end, not a 6, so I'll just try to do it like you gave me, but the solution will be different) if A=(a+b+c)/6 that means the right part of the equation is a fraction. It's easier to compare two sides if they have the same denominator. In order for A, a full number, to have the denominator 6, you need to multiply it by six. Like, 1 is the same as 6/6 or 3/3 or 7/7 in terms of fractions. Likewise, 2 will be 12/6 because times 6 is 12. So: 6A/6=(a+b+c)/6 So now that we have a common denominator, we can just multiply both sides by six so that we're no longer working on fractions. 6A=a+b+c And from here on out, it's an easy equation. To solve for b, you just have to carry over a and c to the other side. 6A-a-c=b Now I know your teacher made a mistake because I double and triple checked it online and the result 3A-a-c=b would only be possible if the initial equation was A=(a+b+c)/3
yes
Well, you just have to carry them over one by one, I think Does the /6 at the end denote a fraction, as in a+b+c divided by six?
I need to calculate A= a+b+c/6 solving for b and I don't like this, I want numbers back Somehow the teacher got 3A-a-c=b and I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED
i am good at basic math why
are you good at math please help me
You have no been updating your raview thread! BUT SPEAKING OF, I have inspired two more review threads on my other forum
Huh. That sounds pretty complicated. It kind of reminds me of social schools here in Poland which are kind of a bridge between private and public, but they don't really have a good reputation. Private schools don't have one either, really. It's kind of bizarre in that here public education is the ideal.
It's like a mix of public and private school. So his records won't carry over the same way and there's more leeway with stuff because it's not fully public.
What's a charter school? I'm still just a level 9 Americanophile, I need more exp to know all the things.
