I know that x=-2.4.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok. I think I understand why I am unable to get this.
-
Many nice people have TRIED HARD to explain this, and I thank you all!
-
BUT!
-
I need sombody to explain this WITHOUT USING NUMBERS! (I think...)
-
In other words instead of saying:
"multiply both sides by 3"...
you could say:
"look for division, and multiply the number to the right (3), by all numbers on the oppisite side. (8 and 4).
-
Because if you say multiply both sides by 3, my brain doesnt understand why, and furthermore cannot face NEW equations with a "both sides by 3" mentality.
-
If your willing to help me (even more). Then when your done, ask yourself:
"Can a eight year old understand this?"
-
Because I am NOT GETTING this at ALL!
