For this case we have the following equation:
 -12.7 = y-3.4

 From here, we must clear the value of y.
 For this, we follow the following steps:

 1) we add 3.4 on both sides of the equation:
 -12.7 + 3.4 = y-3.4 + 3.4


 2) We rewrite the right side of the equation:
 -12.7 + 3.4 = y + 0

-12.7 + 3.4 = y

 3) We do the algebraic sum of the left side of the equation:
 -12.7 + 3.4 = y

-9.3 = y

 Therefore, the solution of the equation is:
 y = -9.3


 Answer:
 
y = -9.3

An object with a starting velocity of 15 m/s accelerates at 3 m/s2. How far does the object travel within 10 seconds?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:  300 m

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

distance(s)=v_it+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2 \quad \text{where}\ v_i \text{is initial velocity, a is acceleration, t is time}

s=(15)(10)+\dfrac{1}{2}(3)(10)^2

  = 150 + 150

  = 300

Why is it important to be able to solve for variables in equations?
stellarik [79]
Solving for variables in equations is important for many reasons.  Of course, it's important to be able to solve for them so you can pass math tests.  But even more so, it's important for real-life applications.  There are many uses for solving equations.  They can provide answers for mathematicians, accountants, insurance companies- you name it!  There are way too many to list!  It may not seem important now, but just keep working at it!  I personally think solving equations is a ton of fun!

If you place a 17-foot ladder against the top of a 8-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bott
Goshia [24]

Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem involves using the Pythagorean theorem, since the figure made with the ladder, building, and ground would make a right triangle. You are given the values 17ft and 8ft, which is enough to plug into the Pythagorean theorem.

The ladder, 17ft, would be the longest side (hypotenuse). The 8ft building would be one of the legs of the right triangle.

1. Plug your given values correctly into the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

8^{2} + b^{2} = 17^{2}

2. Now solve for b, which is your unknown distance (the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the bottom of the building).

8^{2} + b^{2} = 17^{2} --> Square 8 and 17

64 + b^{2} = 289 --> Subtract 64 from both sides

b^{2} = 225 --> Square root both sides to get b by itself

b = 15

3. The distance is 15 feet

*Note: to make solving this problem easier, try drawing out the given situation, namely the building and the ladder
