If x-y =8 find the value of y when x=3

Mathematics

Answer: y = -5

Substitute in 3 for x.
x - y = 8                            Substitution
3 - y = 8                            Subtract 3 from both sides
-y = 5                                Divide by -1 to both sides
y = -5                                Answer!

You can also check your work.
x - y = 8       
3 - (-5) = 8                  
3 + 5 = 8                        
8 = 8

The points (4, 9) and (0, 0) fall on a particular line. What is its equation in slope-intercept form?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = 4/9x

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation, we first need to find the slope. We can do this by using the slope equation with the points.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (9 - 0)/(4 - 0)

m = 9/4

Now that we have this, we can use point-slope form along with one of the points to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x -x1)

y - 0 = 4/9(x - 0)

y = 4/9x

What would happen if a proton were added to the nucleus of the atom? (Check all
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

A. It would become a different atom.

C. Its charge would increase by 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding or removing protons from the nucleus changes the charge of the nucleus and changes that atom's atomic number. So, adding or removing protons from the nucleus changes what element that atom is! For example, adding a proton to the nucleus of an atom of hydrogen creates an atom of helium.
