I really need some help with a problem that ask me to Simplify.
You ladies have been so assisting when I ask and I am really starting to see an improvement in my algebra skills. However, just when I think I'm gaining ground, a new step comes up.
I understand to simplify means to get it into the simplest form, which is also solving, right? This is my problem today.
5y + 13 = 2y - 2
The correct answer, marked on my test, is -5. I am trying to redo my wrong answers to learn how to do the steps right. I just don't know how to do it.
Here is another one I missed.
-2(x - 5) + 4 = 4(2x-4) The correct answer is 3, but I don't understand how to do it. Thanks in advance!!
