Maths problem.

iDeveloperz

Hi guys, it's not actually game related but I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to solve...

3x + 2
--------- = x + 3
2

Its supposed to be (3x + 2)/2 = x + 3

scitunes

1.5x+1=x+3

.5x+1=3

.5x=2

x=4

EDIT: did we just cheat on your homework?

iDeveloperz

No.

Maybe.

Kinda.

Yes.

:P

scitunes

well young man, did you at least learn how to do it from my explanation above?

iDeveloperz

A bit. Well, not really. I see where you got 1.5x+1 from.

But then I didn't understand where you got 0.5x (.5x) from.

Thanks for you help scitunes.

You feel right at home doing this, don't you?

iDeveloperz

Oh, you took x away when you took it to the other side.

I see now. Thanks. (Psst. guys, secretly teachers are cool!)
