(-8)/(2y-8)=(5/(y+4))-7y+(8/(y^2-16))
(-4)/(y-4)=(5/(y+4))-7y+(8/(y+4)(y-4))
((-4)(y+4))/((y+4)(y-4))=((5(y-4))/(y+4)(y-4))-(7y(y+4)(y-4))/(y+4)(y-4))+(8/(y+4)(y-4))
(-4(y+4))=(5(y-4))-(7y(y+4)(y-4))+8
-4y-16=5y-20-(7y(y^2-16))+8
-4y-16=5y-20-7y^3+112y+8
-4y-16=117y-7y^3-12
-4=(121-7y^2)(y)
None of these choices would be equal to -4
Answer:
720
Step-by-step explanation:
If every person has to choose a different character, the first person to choose a character has 6 options, the second has 5, the third has 4, the fourth has 3, and the last person has only two options. Therefore, the total number of ways you can do this if all 5 people dress up as a different character is:

There are 720 ways.
Answer:
x is the reciprocal of the difference of a and b.
Step-by-step explanation:
ax=bx+1
Subtract by bx on both sides
ax-bx=1
x(a-b)=1
x= 1/(a-b)
Y = -x + 4.....so sub in -x + 4 in for y in the other equation
x + 2y = -8
x + 2(-x + 4) = -8
x - 2x + 8 = -8
x - 2x = -8 - 8
-x = -16
x = 16
y = -x + 4
y = -16 + 4
y = - 12
one solution (16,-12)
