(x+1)^2-x^2=23

x^2+2x+1-x^2=23

2x+1=23

2x=22

x=11

11^2 = 121

x+1 =12

12^2=144

144-121 = 23

How to solve 5/6y + 1 = -1/2y + 1/4

True [87]

Answer:

y= -1/4

y= -0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6y+1= -1/2y+1/4

Subtract 1 from both sides

5/6y= -1/2y-3/4

Add 1/2y to both sides

1 1/3y= -3/4

Divide both sides by 1/3

y= -1/4

y= -0.25

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

x=1/5y-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Flip the equation

5x+10=y

Step 2: Add -10 to both sides

5x+10+-10=y+-10

5x=y-10

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 =y-10/5

x=1/5y-2
