Simplifying
5y + -29 = 3y + 19

Reorder the terms:
-29 + 5y = 3y + 19

Reorder the terms:
-29 + 5y = 19 + 3y

Solving
-29 + 5y = 19 + 3y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3y' to each side of the equation.
-29 + 5y + -3y = 19 + 3y + -3y

Combine like terms: 5y + -3y = 2y
-29 + 2y = 19 + 3y + -3y

Combine like terms: 3y + -3y = 0
-29 + 2y = 19 + 0
-29 + 2y = 19

Add '29' to each side of the equation.
-29 + 29 + 2y = 19 + 29

Combine like terms: -29 + 29 = 0
0 + 2y = 19 + 29
2y = 19 + 29

Combine like terms: 19 + 29 = 48
2y = 48

Divide each side by '2'.
y = 24

Simplifying
y = 24

Answer: y = 24

(5y - 29) = (3y + 19) Distributive Property
5y - 29 = 3y + 19 Subtract 3y from both sides
2y - 29 = 19 Add 29 to both sides
2y = 48 Divide by 2 to both sides
y = 24 Answer!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Chan originally placed 4,000 in the bank as a fixed deposit for 2 years.

Each years the bank added a certain amount of interest.

At the end of the 2 years he gained 243 dollars and 60 cents just from interest.

How to solve:

Simply take away the 4 in the amount of money

Leaving: $243.60

( 2 years )

Now divide 243.60 by 1/2

which is 121.8

Mr.Chan got 121.8 worth of interest a year

$10.5 a month

$2.3 a week

6 cents a day

All in 2 years.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (4/5,1/5) and (1/2,3/2)?

Setler [38]

Answer:

$y-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{-13}{3}(x-\frac{1}{2})$ point-slope form

$13x+3y=11$ (standard form)

Let me know if you prefer another form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ provided you are given two points on the line.

We are.

Now you can use that formula. But I really love to just line up the points vertically then subtract them vertically then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

(4/5 , 1/5)

-( 1/2 , 3/2)

-----------------

3/10 -13/10

2nd/1st = $\frac{\frac{-13}{10}}{\frac{3}{10}}=\frac{-13}{3}$ is our slope.
