    You are a real lifesaver. I was sick for two days straight and had to stay home from school and I missed the new lesson for math and it was solving Literal equations. I didn’t know anything about what to do but I stumbled upon this video which now made me understand what is going on. THANK YOU SO MUCH!😊

    I need help with one that wasn't on here: KX+3X=4 ;X (for X)

    • @hsmathsolutions
      @hsmathsolutions  Před 5 lety +3

      Since all terms with an X are on one side of the equation and all terms without an X are on the other side, you're ready to factor out the X from the two terms on the left. It will look like this, X(K+3)=4. From there, divide both sides by K+3, thus isolating X on the left side of the equation. X=4/(K+3). Hope this helps.
