Answer:
y is 1/4 when x is -1 if I did interpret your equation right. Please see that I did.
I believe the equation to be 
. If you meant 
, please let me know.
Thanks kindly.
Step-by-step explanation:
If (-1,y) lies on the graph of , then by substitution we have:
.
We just need to simplify to determine y:
Multiply the 2 and -1:
Use reciprocal rule for exponents to get rid of the negative:
just means 
:
.
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
x - y = 10, then x = 10 + y
x + y = 20
substitute for x:
10 + y + y = 20
2y = 10
y = 5
x = 10 + 5 = 15
24/7 = 180/x....24 ft to 7 seconds = 180 ft to x seconds
cross multiply
(24)(x) = (180)(7)
24x = 1260
x = 1260/24
x = 52.5....so it will take 52.5 seconds
