2 - 4 ( y + 4 ) = 2y + 16 solve for y

Mathematics

Answer:

y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for a variable, take the following steps:

  • Distribute by multiplying into each term in the parenthesis
  • Combine like terms
  • Move terms across the equal sign using inverse operations

2 - 4 (y + 4) = 2y + 16            Distribute

2 - 4y - 16 = 2y + 16              Combine 2-16

-14 - 4y = 2y + 16                  Add 4y to both sides

-14 = 6y + 16                          Subtract 16 to both sides

-30 = 6y                                Divide by 6

y = -5

Find the H.C.F. of the following expressions:36(x³+x²y-12xy²), 54(x³y+4x³y²-21xy) ​
almond37 [142]

Answer:

  18x

Step-by-step explanation:

The HCF is the highest factor common to both expressions. We can find it by factoring both expressions and identifying common factors.

<h3>Factorization</h3>

  36(x³+x²y-12xy²) = 18x·2·(x +4y)(x -3y)

  54(x³y+4x³y²-21xy) = 18x·3y·(x +7)(x -3)

The highest common factor is 18x.

A man left 1⁄2 of his property to his wife 1/3 of the remainder to his eldest
diamong [38]

Answer: p800,000

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2         to wife

1/3         to eldest son, and

<u>Rest(x)</u>   to 5 youngest children

(1/2) + (1/3) + x = 1  [The sum of the shares will equal 1 estate]

(3/6) + (2/6) + x = 1

(5/6) + x = 1

x = (1/6); to be divided among the 5 youngest children

We find that each young child receives p60,000.  That group of five received 5*(60,000) = p300,000, which represents (1/6) of the total estate (Estate).

We can write:    (1/6)*(Estate) = p300,000

Estate = p1,800,000

The wife hauled in 1/2 of this, so she received p800,000.
