Answer:

<h2>y = 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain:\\\\2y-8\neq0\ \wedge\ y+4\neq0\ \wedge\ y^2-16\neq0\\\\2y\neq8\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y^2\neq16\\\\y\neq4\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq\pm\sqrt{16}\\\\y\neq4\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq4\\\\\boxed{y\neq-4\ \wedge\ y\neq4}\\\\===========================

\dfrac{-8}{2y-8}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-16}\\\\\dfrac{-8}{2(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-4^2}\qquad\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\\dfrac{-8}{2(y-4)}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-2)}\\\\\dfrac{8}{y-4}=-\dfrac{10}{y+4}+\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{10}{y+4}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\dfrac{8}{y-4}+\dfrac{10}{y+4}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}

\dfrac{8(y+4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}+\dfrac{10(y-4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\\\\\dfrac{8(y+4)+10(y-4)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\\dfrac{8y+32+10y-40}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\\dfrac{(8y+10y)+(32-40)}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\\\\\dfrac{18y-8}{(y-4)(y+4)}=\dfrac{14y+16}{(y-4)(y+4)}\iff18y-8=14y+16\\\\18y-8=14y+16\qquad\text{subtract 14y from both sides}

4y-8=16\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\\\4y=24\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\y=8\in D

Desmond really like Legos. Last Saturday Desmond counted his Legos and realized that
Burka [1]

Answer: 14 red, 7 green, 44 blue

Step-by-step explanation:

First, use the letter <em>r</em> as a variable to represent the number of red Legos. The number of green Legos (<em>g</em>) is 7 less than the number of red Legos, or <em>g = r-7.</em> The number of blue Legos (b) is 2 more than 3 times the number of red Legos, or <em>b = 3r+2</em>. The total number of Legos is the number of red + green + blue Legos, which can be represented as <em>65 = r+g+b</em>.

Substitute the equations for g and b in. This should give you a final equation of <em>65 = r+(r-7)+(3r+2)</em>. To solve for the number of <u>red</u> Legos, first add up all of the terms to get <em>65 = 5r-5</em>. Now add 5 to each side (70<em> = 5r</em>). Finally, divide each side by 5 (r = 14).

To find the number of <u>green</u> Legos, substitute the number of red Legos (14) into the equation for the green Legos (<em>g = r-7</em>). This should get you the equation <em>g = 14-7</em> which simplifies to g = 7.

To find the number of <u>blue</u> Legos, substitute the number of red Legos (14) into the equation for the blue Legos (<em>b = 3r+2</em>). This gives you the equation <em>b = (3*14)+2.</em> First, multiply 3 and 14 to get <em>b = 42+2</em>. Finally, add them together to get b = 44.
