Answer:
2n -4
Step-by-step explanation:
n+8 + n-12
Combine like terms
n+n+ 8-12
2n -4
<h3><u>The value of y is equal to (-4 - 3x)/4.</u></h3>
Because there are two variables and only one equation, we cannot solve for the exact value of y.
However, we can still get a value of y.
y - 4 = 3x + 5y
Subtract y from both sides.
-4 = 3x + 4y
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-4 - 3x = 4y
Divide all terms by 4.
(-4 - 3x)/4 = y
Answer:
2 + (13/4)x = 1/2 + (11/2)y
Step-by-step explanation:
Let each jar of paint used by Liam be x
Let each jar of paint used by Evan be y.
Liam uses 2 quarts of yellow paints and adds 3 1/4 jars of blue paint. so we have
2 + 3 1/4x
= 2 + (13/4)x
Since Evan also uses 1/2 quarts of yellow paints and add 5 1/2 jar of red paint, we have
1/2 + 5 1/2y
= 1/2 + (11/2)y
Since they end up with the same volume of paint, we have
2 + (13/4)x = 1/2 + (11/2)y
The solution set is (9.5, 3.5). Explanation: 9.5(2)+3.5(2) is the same as 19+7 which equals 26. These same numbers are used for x-y=6, which is 9.5-3.5=6.
