To learn about the order of operations, try here. To learn about simplifying with parentheses, try here. To learn how to solve linear equations, try here. :wink:

 

[GlennJ]

Ah, dude, you're so awesome. Thanks. so helpful

Like here's an example:

4(j-7)=12

 

[Denis]

Like here's an example:
4(j-7)=12

That's a nice example. Do you have a question?

 

[GlennJ]

Yes. It's confusing.
Do you use biggest variable or smaller?

You only have one variable. Follow the steps explained in the lesson to solve for its value. :wink:

Oh alright. I'll go check it out. Here's on example:

5(a-4)=3(a+1.5)

I'm sure you would get a decimal.
