Please help solve -2|5y-1|=-10

1 answer:

7 0

Alright, so we can start by dividing -2 from both sides, getting |5y-1|=20. Then, since 5y-1 is in an absolute value, 5y-1 is either 20 or -20.
In 5y-1=20, we can add one to both sides, getting 5y=21 and y=21/5. In
5y-1=-20, we can add one again, getting 5y=-19 and y=-19/5.

If you have any more equations, make sure to plug both numbers in to check, but otherwise y has two answers , which are -19/5 and 21/5.

There are 32,760 different orders for the first four positions.

This is a permutation where repetition is not allowed; the formula for that is:

$_nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

For our problem, we have:
$_{15}P_4=\frac{15!}{(15-4)!}=\frac{15!}{11!}=32760$

The sum of two numbers is 30. the first number is twice the second number. what are the numbers?

Fudgin [204]

Let the numbers be x and y.

by the first statement of the question, we get , x + y = 30.,,..(1)

by the second satement, we get , x = y+ y => x=2y... (2)

from equation (2), let us put the value of x in equation (1),
x + y = 30
=> 2y + y = 30
=> 3y = 30
=> y =30/3
=> y = 10

and x=2y => x = 2*10 = 20

in short, the numbers are 10 and 20
