4) fifteen less than y is 32
15 - y= 32
15 - (-17)= 32
two negatives become positive so 15+17= 32
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2+b^2=400
a^2=400-b^2
a=sqrt(400-b^2) & -sqrt(400-b^2)
-----------------------------------------------
b^2=400-a^2
b=sqrt(400-a^2) & -sqrt(400-a^2)
Answer: 3y
Explanation: 4y - y or 4y -1y
3y
Let "x" represent the number of units
5x = the number of tomato plants in Inessa's garden
6x = the number of tomato plants in Ralph's garden
the question says that half (1/2 x (5x)) of Inessa's tomato plants are taken from her garden and put into Ralph's garden
this means that Ralph has a total of 850 tomato plants in his garden
using all of this information, we get the following (which we have to solve):
(1/2)(5x) + 6x = 850
when we solve for "x", we find that:
"x" = 100
so, going back to the original statement, if Ralph started out with (6x) tomato plants, and "x" = 100, we have to multiply 6 by 100
doing so gives us our final answer:
Ralph had 600 tomato plants in the beginning
