Answer:

y = -3

x = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

4(y + \frac{7}{2}) - 2y = 8  Distribute the 4.  Multiply everything in the parentheses by 4

4y + 14 - 2y = 8           4(\frac{7}{2}) = \frac{28}{2} = 14  Combine the like terms 4y and -2y

2y + 14 = 8         Subtract 14 from both sides

2y =  -6               Divide both sides by 2

y = -3  

Plug -3 in for y in either original equation.

4x - 2y = 8

4x -2(-3) = 8

4x + 6 = 8    Subtract 6 from both sides

4x = 2  Divide both sides by 4

x = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

Check:

x = y + \frac{7}{2}

\frac{1}{2} = -3+ \frac{7}{2}

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{-6}{2} + \frac{7}{2}

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

4x - 2y = 8

4(\frac{1}{2}) - 2(-3) = 8

2 + 6 = 8

8 = 8

Three friends went to the movies. Each movie ticket cost $8.50. Each person ordered a drink for $4.75. Two friends also bought p
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

P = $7.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Movie tickets = $8.50

Drink = $4.75

Two friends also bought popcorn

Total spent by the group = $53.75

Given equation:

3(8.50 + 4.75) + 2p = 53.75

Where,

P = cost of one order of popcorn

3(8.50 + 4.75) + 2p = 53.75

25.50 + 14.25 + 2p = 53.75

39.75 + 2p = 53.75

2p = 53.75 - 39.75

2p = 14

p = 14 / 2

p = 7

p = $7.00

X2+y2=r2 Solve for y
Kaylis [27]

Answer: y=\sqrt{r^{2} -x^{2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+y^2=r^2 --> subtract x^2 to other side

y^2=r^2-x^2 --> square root both sides

y=sqrt(r^2-x^2)
