Answer:
-5.4c
Step-by-step explanation:
We're combining two "like" terms here.
It may make the problem easier to visualize if we write one of these terms over the other, as follows:
-2.6c
- 2.8c
----------
Adding, we get:
-2.6c
- 2.8c
----------
- 5.4c (answer)
1/2 and 10/20
to get 1/2 you have to divide 5/10 by 5:
5 / 5 1
----- = -----
10 / 5 2
to get 10/20 you have to multiply 5/10 by 2:
5 * 2 10
----- = ----
10 * 2 20
Hope it helps! =)

Answer:
y = (2/5) OR y = (6/5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is isolating the expression within the absolute value bars. The first thing we can do is subtract both sides by 8. If we do that, we get -2|4-5y| = -4. Now, to completely isolate the absolute value, we would have to divide by -2. This yields |4 - 5y| = 2. Finally, we can remove the absolute value bars. However, to do this, we need to first understand what an absolute value bar does to an equation. Lets say that |x| = 2. Absolute value describes the DISTANCE of some quantity from 0 (on the number line). Therefore, x (which is inside the absolute value bars) can be either positive or negative 2 (they are BOTH two units away from 0). Similarly, in this case, (4 - 5y) can either be 2 or -2 (because the absolute value of both is 2). Now we have two possible solutions to solve for:
4 - 5y = 2 OR 4 - 5y = -2
5y = 2 OR 5y = 6
y = (2/5) OR y = (6/5)
If we plug both of these answers back into the equation we can see that they both check out.
