This looks like Liberal Arts Math (math for non-science majors).

This stuff is fun, but you gotta focus on the technique and work out the example problems first.

Also if you double n + 7, its (n + 7)(n + 7) not 2n + 14 which is multiplying it by 2 which is not the same thing.

2 (n+7) is doubling.. doubling is adding it to itself or times 2.. so 2n+14 is correct

(n+7)(n+7) is squaring or multiplying by itself..

Taking a math course need some help I honestly hate having to ask this but I have no one else to turn to so I'm hoping someone on here can help a brother out. :sadcam:

basically some of these to give you an idea I suppose
- Polya's four-step problem solving method
- explore sets and use Venn's diagrams to discover properties of set operations
- use this knowledge to model operations with numbers and analyze properties of different number systems.
What is this for?

Never understood the purpose for these complex math questions , I don't really have a problem because Math is typically my best subject but I don't see how people are ever going to apply this into any aspect of their life ..

We apply this stuff in real life more than we think.. Our real world problems are not spelled out like this but when you break it down its the same...

Example.. I have 5 dollars for lunch ... if I buy x+y+z or 2X, etc... how much will i spend and have left over..
you have 100 go to the club... how many drinks can you buy ... cover charge is X drinks are Y ..etc.....

Its all there..

@kevin wilkins .. op ... shoot some problems this way.. I'll see what I can do for you

If you need help beyond online tutoring like Khan Academy, Mathway, PatrickJMT, I should be able to help.

Thats becasue 6 is every damn answer... :sas1:

And i think that the answer key.. if you look up top it says he got 1 right out of 14.. OP what did you get correct?
If he only got 1 out of 14 correct, I'm pretty sure 6 isn't every answer.

He got n+7 right.

I honestly didn't want to post pics cause I'm slight embarrassed I don't know this shyt. The course is apparently so easy that my uni doesn't provide tutoring or any type of study sessions for it.

The first part is simple you just take the number on the left and follow the instructions add 7 to the 3 than multiply followed by subtracting by 2 and divide by 2 and subtract the original selected number which is 3 ending in the result of 6.

You do this same process for the other numbers as well resulting in 6 as well it's When I get to Question A that I'm confused on how it's 6 I know you get 6 for each number but I can't understand why it's 6 because the previous questions like this have been done differently. B is different that I can understand you take n and follow the procedures add 7 to n gets you n+7 you then double the result n which could be seen as 1n becomes 2n and 7 becomes 14 . ..etc it's just The A question that throws me off.. ..

Okay off to drunk sleepy place I go night
