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 !

HOPE THIS HELPS!

Answer:

the temperature of F degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

C(F) represents "C of F," or "C is a function of F." This means that Celsius is a function of Fahrenheit and tells us that Celsius is dependent in this situation.

As the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit changes, it causes a change in the temperature in degrees Celsius. This function gives us the converted temperature from Fahrenheit converted to Celsius.

Answer:

$x^2 -2x -15=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Given that, the roots are,}~ \alpha=-3 ~ \text{and}~ \beta=5 .\\\\\text{The quadratic equation with roots}~ \alpha ~ \text{and}~ \beta ~ \text{is,}\\\\~~~~~~~~x^2 - (\alpha + \beta )x +\alpha \beta = 0\\\\\implies x^2-(-3 +5) x +(-3)(5) = 0\\\\\implies x^2 -2x -15=0$
