Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 1 = √y + 5

(y - 1)² = y + 5 (Square both sides)

y² - 2y + 1 = y + 5 (Expand left side)

y² - 3y - 4 = 0 (Subtract y and 5 from both sides)

(y + 1) (y - 4) = 0 (Factor)

y = -1, 4 (Use ZPP)

When we check y = -1 we see that it is not a solution so the answer is y = 4.

HACTEHA [7]

If you do 60% then you put the percent two times over the the left so 0.60 then you would do 0.60 times 50 so that would be 30. 30 of the members must vote. Hopefully that helped?
