How do I even Algebra?

[dkamm65]

That's weird. Proper fractions should never be in equations.

What do you expect from high school algebra?

That's weird. Proper fractions should never be in equations.

Anyways, the first step is to convert it into an improper fraction.

If it was 5 * a proper fraction it would've been 5*(2/13) or 5(2/13)

And yes first step is to turn it into an improper fraction.

That's what I figured I should probably do. Isn't it possible to ignore the five wholes until the end though?

You could do that but it's easier if you convert the fraction. Do that.

"lol u guys ned 2 lern how 2 propur math so wii gon teech u all dees stoopid fakin randum equashuns even doe der cumpletely unnessasary in lief an will nevur do u any gud!!!!"

Pretty much.

I am attempting to do this now. 13 * -5 + 2, right?

[Blockzillahead]

Yes. -67/13.

[kegeshan]

Yes. -67/13.

Wait, wouldn't it be -63/13?

13 * -5 = -65 + 2 = -63

Nope. Nope. Not at all.

[Blockzillahead]

Wait, wouldn't it be -63/13?

13 * -5 = -65 + 2 = -63

Oh stuff yes. I always forget the damn negative

Wait no what are you trying to mess me up. It's -67.

It doesn't apply the same as when you're actually adding to a negative number

 = -5(2/13)

 = -(5 + 2/13)

 = -(65/13 + 2/13)

 = -(67/13)

 = -67/13

[Moonstar Akemi]

Yes. -67/13.

Huh, for some reason I thought the +2 was positive and I got 63/13. Okay, I guess it's a negative 2.

Alright so I've got -67/13 divided by negative 4/39 so far.

Wait, wouldn't it be -63/13?

13 * -5 = -65 + 2 = -63

That's what I got.

That's easy.
Burn the test.

Too bad I'd have to burn my computer with it. :(

[Zanaran2]

Too bad I'd have to burn my computer with it. :(

CTRL ALT DEL the test then.

[Moonstar Akemi]

Wait a minute if -5 and 2/13 is ALL negative, wouldn't that mean it'd be negative 13 multiplied by negative five thus making it positive and then adding a negative two onto that? Holy forget my brain.

No because (a + b/c)

-(5 + 2/13)

The fraction is negative in the end when you apply the - outside the brackets.

Here's my process and answer. If you disagree with me, then you're wrong.

Well it seems you're wrong. All the listed answers in the multiple choice were all fractions. lol
