How do you do alegebra on a calcalator?

11x+121


What is an variable?

A variable is a value that is not always the same number. In alegebra, it is represented as a letter. In the equasion Y=4X+5, 'Y' and 'X' are both variables.


What answer to alegebra 9x plus 2x equals 121?

We're given: 9x + 2x = 121 The first step is to group like terms on the left: (9 + 2)x = 121 11x = 121 Now divide both sides by 11: 11x/11 = 121/11 x = 11


To you have to know math really good to be an air traffic controler?

To be an ATC (Air Traffic Controller) you should be familiar with basic math because you essentially have to separate planes by flight levels and know how far those levels are from each other, judge speed of aircraft, and also flight levels. If anything you need to know basic math very quickly. You have to think quick because let's say you have a plane climbing out of an airport to 15,000 feet and you have another plane at level flight in the same area at 12,500. You have to tell one plane to divert to avoid a collision with the other, and remember there are real people on those planes! I would study alegebra, but especially statistics and geometry. Calculus would prove to be useless for an ATC.


How do you solve 14y minus 6y equals 48 Alegebra 1?

14y minus 6y means "14 times a number, minus 6 times the same number". If you have 14 things and you take away 6 things, you are left with 8 things. So, 8 times a number equals 48. 8 times what number gets you 48? Since you are already in Algebra I, you know 8 times 6 gets you 48, so the number (y) is 6. The formal Algebra I approach is to combine like terms, then divide. 14y - 6y = 48 (Subtract 6y from 14 y. (14y - 6y = 8y, and the y does not go away) 8y = 48 (Now divide both sides by 8 to get the y all by itself) 8/8y = 48/8 (8/8 is 1, and 48/8 is 6, so 1y = 6. You can lose the 1 because one thing is the thing itself.) y = 6 Does that help? There are many ways to solve this problem, but Algebra I is teaching the proper steps for solving one, two and three step equations. Stick with it.
