Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
x = 3 - y → (1)
5x - 12 = y → (2)
Substitute x = 3 - y into (2)
5(3 - y) - 12 = y ← distribute and simplify left side
15 - 5y - 12 = y
3 - 5y = y ( add 5y to both sides )
3 = 6y ( divide both sides by 6 )
= y, that is
y = 0.5 → A
Answer:
It's easy to figure it out. The equation we have is 8 = y - 9. We need to isolate y. Simply add 9 to each side of the equation to get this: 17 = y.
ANSWER: 17 = y
1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 6/3
Any number multiplied by 1 is the number. Think about it this way. If I have 1 group of 8 apples, how many apples do I have? I have 8 apples :)
