But when I try to solve -730=V0(-.601815)(5.00)-122.5 I get -730=V0-125.509. I just don't see how to go from that to the answer V0=202 m/s
To start solving an equation, you need to determine the type of equation you are dealing with. Is it linear, quadratic, exponential, etc.? Next, identify the terms and coefficients in the equation and use appropriate mathematical operations to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
The order of operations when solving an equation is PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). However, when there are multiple operations at the same level, you should work from left to right.
If you get a negative number when solving an equation, it means that your solution is not a real number. This could happen in equations involving square roots or logarithms. In such cases, you may need to check your work or use a different method of solving the equation.
Yes, it is always a good idea to check your answer when solving an equation. You can plug your solution back into the original equation and see if it satisfies the equation. If it does, then your answer is correct. If not, you may need to rework your solution.
Yes, there are a few tips that can help you solve equations more efficiently. Firstly, always double-check your work to avoid simple mistakes. Secondly, try to simplify the equation by combining like terms or using inverse operations before solving. Lastly, practice solving different types of equations to build your problem-solving skills.
