Y equals -34.
First, you multiply both sides of the equation by the number 2 ... [2* y/2 + 2*5= -2*12 ] 2 cancels out and now your left with [y+2*5=-2*12] which turns into [ y+10=-2*12] after you multiply 5*2. Which now turns into [y+10= -24] after you multiply -2*12.

Secondly, you subtract 10 from both sides of the equation! (y+10-10=-24-10) y is now isolated because +10-10 cancels out !

Lastly, you are are left with y= -24-10... once you calculate this you will get the answer -34 !

Lisa has a rectangular drawing that is 43.5 centimeters by 934 millimeters. How many centimeters of wood framing will she need?

KIM [24]

Lisa's drawing has the following dimensions:
Width=43.5 cm
Length=934 mm

but 1 cm =10 mm
thus
934mm when converted into cm we shall have:
length=93.4 cm

To get the total length of material required to frame the picture, we calculate the perimeter.
P=2(L+W)
P=2(93.4+43.5) cm
P=2(136.9)
P=273.8 cm

The total length of material required will be 273.8 cm
