AND THIS IS WHY A TIRED DARK SHOULD NOT TRY TO DO HOMEWORK AT ALL -
Hehe.
-
SO YAH I GOT IT WRONG.
-
I NEED HELP AGAIN
-
Whatcha need?
-
;w;
14/15t - 7/10 = 21/30 + t
solving for t
first thing is to make them all have the same bottom half thingy, so it changes to
28/30t - 21/30 = 27/30 + t right -
Looks good. Is there a key for that one?
-
-21 = t
-
Hmm...I got -24... I hate fractions.
-
The teacher said she could be wrong.
-
I'm pretty sure I did the math right. She was close but I think -24 is the answer. I can try to ask my math teacher before you go to school, but no guarantees because I need to finish an essay in the morning.
-
No it's fine. Can you show me what you did?
-
28/30t - 21/30 = 27/30 + t
t is = 30/30t
28/30t - 21/30 = 27/30 + 30/30t
-28/30t
-21/30 = 27/30 + 2/30t
-27/30
-48/30 = 2/30
I cross multiplied.
-48 x 30 = -1440
2 x 30 = 60
-1440/60 = -24
t = -24 -
Okay, that's what I've been getting. I think the answer key is wrong. o3o
-
Probably. I couldn't find a way to get -21. Your teacher needs to step her game up.
