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 :)

Problem solving your family has a rectangular pool that measures 18 feet by 9 feet. your family wants to put a deck around the p

tester [92]

Let w be the width of the deck. Then, using the total area, we get:
(9+2w)(18+2w)=400
4w²+54w-238=0
2w²+27w-119=0
(2w-7)(w+17)=0
w=-17 or 7/2
Using the positive value, we get a width of 3&1/2 ft. for the deck

An automobile purchased for 22,000 is worth 2500 after 5 yrs. Assuming that the cars value deprecited steadily from year to year

tester [92]

Original price = 22000
New price = 2500
Amount depreciated in 5 years = 22000 - 2500
=19500
Amount depreciated in 1 year = 19500/5
= 3900
Worth after 3 years = 22000 - 3(3900)
= 10300
