Answer:

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

8 = 3y - 12 - 8y

Combine like terms

8 = -5y -12

Add 12 to each side

8+12 - 5y-12+12

20 = -5y

Divide each side by -5

20/-5 = -5y/-5

-4 =y

Hey there!

3y-8y = 12+8

=> -5y=20

=> -y = 20/5

=> $\fbox{y=-4}$

Hope this helps you :)

Two urns each contain green balls and blue balls. Urn I contains 4 green balls and 6 blue balls, and Urn II contains 6 green bal

Morgarella [4.7K]

Urn 1 = 4 green balls and 6 blue balls, a total of 10 balls
Urn 2 = 6 green balls and 2 blue balls, a total of 8 balls.

Probability of blue balls:
Urn 1 : P = 6/10
Urn 2 : P = 2/8

Probability that both balls are blue:
6/10 * 2/8 = 6*2 / 10*8 = 12/80 = 6/40 = 3/20

Answer is B. 3/20

Solve for x: 1 over 4 (2x − 14) = 4. 15 15 over 2 9 11

zloy xaker [14]

1/4(2x - 14) = 4....multiply both sides by 4
2x - 14 = 4 * 4
2x - 14 = 16
2x = 16 + 14
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15 <==
