WELCOME ALL! to Homework Help Having trouble with a homework problem? Just can't seem to understand what you learned in school, but you got the answer some how? Well here is your chance to get the help that you deserve, with you're own private tutor(s)! With the many intelligent people in the community, almost all questions can be answered by one person or another! Not only will you get the answer but you will understand how that answer is correct so you can learn and do it in the future on your own! Answer questions fully, giving the answer and an explination with it. Try not to only give an answer, it defeats the purpose of this thread. If a question was already answered, please do not repost the answer unless correcting it or adding helpful content to the answer.
I personally am most skillful in mathematics, followed by reading and writing.
Well, I made the thread because I thought it would be helpful even if no one asked me to. If someone wants help then they can easily come here and ask. Why does it concern you so much?
And how do you plan on "verifying my credentials", are you meaning is it in my authority to create such a thread? I can create any thread i would like. If you are meaning my "credentials" to help others with homework, it's not like I am saying that I would be the only one helping, i was hoping the community would help, i know the intelligence here.
I guess you divide 10.4 by 2.9, and that's your answer. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it's the same concept as 10=2d, in which you would divide 10 by 2, so d=5. There's my help. And I didn't even have to take calculus to figure that out!
10=2d cept with decimals so like 10.4=2.9d and it confuzzles me
So... it's like solving for d? Because if it is you need to divide both sides by 2.9, so one side is left with d and the other side is 3.58. Use a calculator.

I laughed so hard. But I will participate. However, as Wes said, students must show their work. So here's what I have to say: DON'T tell them the answers! Tell them how to work the problem on their own!

Easy enough. First thing you need to know: the goal in algebra is to make stuff even on both sides. So, in order to make things even, you have to do the same thing to both sides! And the "divider" of both sides of the problem is the equal sign. Like so... 10 + f = 13 -10 -10 -------------- 0 + f = 3 f = 3 You subtract 10 on both sides of the problem and bring down the answers and the variable(in this case, "f". Then you simply remove the zero from the equation and voila, you have your answer. And to find out what operation you do, well that's easy as well. You just do the inverse(opposite) operation. So for example... 12d = 120 --- --- 12 12 d = 10 It's difficult to really tell, but I divided both sides of the problem(being that the original was multiplied), then crosscancelled(italicized is crosscancelled because I can't really show it any other way. If I put a slash through it then it would look like it was division) the two twelves. Then I found 120/12, which is 10, meaning that d = 10. So in your little problem it'd look something like this. 10.4 = 2.9d --- --- 2.9 2.9 3.59(rounded to the hundredths) = d Do you understand? I have my 6th grade math teacher to thank for my knowledge on the subject. She was awesome.
