- Hm...
- What's the problem Jeffrey?
- Nothing really, I just have a problem
- And what is that problem?
- It's the news they say that the people got infected by COVID-19 is around "5x - 2 = 3x + 18"
- It's simple to know the amount of people who got infected by the COVID Virus, you just need to knw how much is it. Let me show you!
- So that means every data is always collected on how much people have been affected by the virus?
- When COVID-19 has struck by, many people are affected by that virus and thus the data will be spread in tons of ways, the way that you gave me that sort of data is by using algebraic expression
- Yes, that is true, and i believe the answer to that equation that you gave me is X = 10
- How did you solve it Brennan? I wanted to know the solution behind it.
- Thanks for the solution Brennan! Now I know the value of the data that has given to us!
- It's complicated solution but I can try giving you the solution. The first thing that you have to do is to add the 2 in the expression like this; 5𝑥−2+2=3𝑥+18+2, then you simplify them into this equation 5𝑥=3𝑥+20, then add 3x into the equation and subtract it like so; 5𝑥−3𝑥=3𝑥+20−3𝑥, and when you finished simplifying them you get this result which is 2𝑥 = 20, then divide both sides and cross out the terms that are in both numerator and denominator which is x = 2 / 20 and when you divide the them you get 10 as the answer to the equation that you gave me.
