6X = 10-4

Therefore 6X = 6

Therefore X = 6/6

Therefore X = 1

Therefore Laura is an idiot.

Why would Laura say 6x+3=10 when the question clearly states 6x+4=10?

Always drop a perpendicular and if that fails take the logarithm of both sides.

Glad to be of help.

It's algebra, x is the unknown or variable..

Well, that's what I said..

My daughter was much more polite with her tutor when he said she had got it wrong (daughters answer was that laura had transposed incorrectly and believed + to be -)

It turn out that her tutor is no brighter than laura..

I just wanted a second opinion to make sure my understanding of simple maths was correct..

.

Next question..

Does anyone know a good maths tutor in East London or Essex as I am now looking for a new one for my daughter!!!

I can't believe that a maths tutor can not get the answer to the simple equation. Perhaps the tutor is just unable to put it in a way that your daughter can understand.

Ref any good tutors, why not ask around at her school?

i'm slow as fuck and only just realised what you asked in the OP. thought laura was your daughter....

6x+3=10

6x=12

x=2

the answer is the 3, that is where laura went wrong.

then the 6 x would equal 7 anyway, so x would equal 1 and 1 6th. not sure you need that last bit.

i used to be shit hot at mental arithmetic - still not too bad and i used to get slated all the time for not showing working out - even though i got the correct answers - was a constant battle between me and the teachers

Confused.. even if Laura had used minus instead of plus it still wouldn't get 12 when you move the 4 over.. maybe she divided it by 2, stupid question anyway

Look around on YouTube there's plenty of maths and algebra to smash through, it's not all bieber and cat videos, also just because someone has the position of tutor don't credit them with anything other than the ability to bullshit an outdated exam, I'm dyslexic so struggle to show working out and do my maths in a backward fashion in my head and I'm a computer programmer (nerd is the word)

Laura-being a bit of a donut-changed the 4 to a 3. Why, we will never know.

That's where Laura went wrong...duh.

10-4=6x

Also, the multiplier symbol is assumed if not present..

Example : a+b means you add 2 values but if written ab it means a times b. The X in the example is an unfortunate coincidence

If she thinks

6x + 3 = 10

Then how can she think 6x = 12?

Surely it would have to be 3 less than 10?

Although Siri is also stupid. It knows what the square root of -1 is, but got the answer to -1 squared wrong hope no-one uses Siri to cheat in maths tests
