      I have a question. My equation was the same (3 + 3v = 48). But, I divided 3 on both sides. Why did you take away 3 instead?

      the sum of two numbers is equal to four times of their difference find the two numbers.? the twice of the large number is equal to three times of their smaller number added by 4 find the two numbers?

    • @UltimateAlgebra
      @UltimateAlgebra  5 років тому +2

      @@ThatChickKim You could have divided both sides by 3 first. That will give you 1 + v = 16.
      Then you have a one step equation. You can subtract 1 from both sides to get v = 15. SAME ANSWER

    Hello, can someone please explain to me how 3v = 48 - 3? 10:00 Why are we subtracting the 3? I understand how the 2nd equation is operated but not this first one. I'm really lost on how this first one is being solved and how Victor's age became 15.

    • @UltimateAlgebra
      @UltimateAlgebra  5 років тому +4

      Violet Flame sorry about that. We rushed through that part. It’s a two step equation.
      3 + 2v + v = 48.
      We can add the 2v and v to get 3v
      3 + 3v = 48
      We can subtract 3 from both sides.
      3 - 3 is 0 and 48 - 3 is 45
      So we have
      3v = 45
      Now it’s a one step equation. We divide both sides by 3.
      45 divide by 3 is 15
      So we have v = 15

      Takeaway 3from both sides will cancel that 3. (Very important that we need to take away the same amount from the right side too!) This leaves us 3v=45. Divide each side by 3 and we successfully isolated the "V" by itself. Which is V=15. That's what it is! (It could have been named X instead of V, it would still be the same.) I hope this helps!🙂

      3V=48-3
      3V= 45
      Now you divide each side by 3 to get V, 3/3=1 and 45/3=15
      V=15

      This is Age Word Problem, translating & solving it is slightly different. We have videos on it in our course but we have not posted anything on it here on UA-cam yet. You can simple search "Age word problem" and you will get the help you need
