Answer:
Kay made 8 phone calls
Stephanie made 13 phone calls

Explanation:
Assume the number of phone calls that Stephanie made is x.
We are given that:
Kay made 5 phone calls less than Stephanie.
This means that:
Kay made x-5 phone calls

We know that the total number of phones is 21.
This means that:
21 = x + x - 5

Now we solve for x as follows:
21 = x + x - 5
21 = 2x - 5
2x = 26
x = 26/2
x = 13

This means that:
Stephanie made x = 13 phone calls
Kay made x - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8 phone calls

Hope this helps :)

If I wanted to solve the equation -12x + 3y = 12 for y, what would we want to do first?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

y = 4x +4

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x + 3y = 12

3y = 12 +12x ......bring x to opposite side and sign changes

y = 12 +12x / 3   .............bring 3 to oppsite side and it would divide

y = 4 + 4x   ............result of diving and the answer of ours

y = 4x +4

Why do 25 ÷ 10 and 250 ÷ 100 give the same answer?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

One zero can be cancel out from both the numerator and denominator of 250 ÷ 100

Step-by-step explanation:

25 ÷ 10 =\frac{25}{10}=\frac{5}{2}

250 ÷ 100 =\frac{250}{100}=\frac{5}{2}

Therefore,

25 ÷ 10 = 250 ÷ 100

Here, 25 ÷ 10 and 250 ÷ 100 give the same answer.

Here, one zero can be cancel out from both the numerator and denominator of 250 ÷ 100

Show all your work please!
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

-3 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(n) = n² - 2n - 15

numbers whose product is -15 and sums up to -2 = -5 and 3

= n²- 5n+3n - 15

= n(n - 5) +3 (n - 5)

f(n) = (n + 3)( n - 5)

n + 3 = 0 n - 5 = 0

n = -3 n = 5

Roots = -3 and 5
