Wow, just wow.
So yes, as I've said before, I'm doing Algebra in Math. I feel as if it brakes all the rules that I've learned since 1st grade. 
Anyways, here's a problem that I want to see if you can figure out. I was surprised that I got it right. 
-c + 4c + 7c + 19= 11c - (-4) + 2c
Find the value of c.
Man, I'm relieved that I got this answer right, ^,^

Got it in like a minute.
The algebra is stopping your math? 
It's spelled BREAKS, not BRAKES.

Re: Wow, just wow.
It took me like 30 seconds in my head to do it, this is like Grade 10 stuff (over here in Canada I mean)

Re: Wow, just wow.
-c + 4c + 7c + 19= 11c - (-4) + 2c
Combine like terms on both sides
10c + 19 = 13c - (-4)
Subtracting a negative is adding a positive
10c + 19 = 13c + 4
Subtract 10c from each side
19 = 3c + 4
Subtract 4 from each side
15 = 3c
Divide each side by 3
5 = c
Turn it around
C=5
Isn't too hard.

It's not quite too hard. Don't keep subtracting and adding to both sides, but in the beginning, just simplify.

Okay, okay. I know it isn't hard. I wasn't difficult for me either. It just looks hard cause of all the numbers and variables.

Re: Wow, just wow.
let me try
-c + 4c + 7c + 19= 11c - (-4) + 2c
