Complete the solution of the equation. Find the value of y when x equals -15. -x ‒ 8y = -1

1 answer:

5 0

To complete the solution of - x - 8y = -1, we first need to substitute x for -15.
As so:

-(-15) - 8y = -1
15 - 8y = -1

Next, we can subtract 15 from each side to get:

15 - 15 - 8y = -1 - 15
- 8y = -16

Now, we can divide by -8 on each side to get the y by itself:

-8y / -8 = -16 / -8
y = -16 / -8
y = 2

There we go! <em>y</em> = 2 when x = -15! Hope I could help you out! Have a good one.

It costs miksel $4 to make a bike bag, if he sells each gor $5. He has made a profit of $16 dollars so far

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5-4 = 1 so total profit would be $1 for each bag.

Because he makes 1 dollar per bag this is a fairly simple to see how many he has but we will pretend its not so you have an idea of how to do this later.

You should divide the final profit he's made by the total he gets per each, which would give you how many he has made.

$16/$1 = 16 bags produced.

Find the estimates of x^2-x-2=3

Julli [10]

Answer:

$x=\frac{1+\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx 2.79\\or\ x=\frac{1-\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx -1.79$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadratic equation is

$x^2-x-2=3\\x^2-x-5=0$

Roots of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ are

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\$

So, for the given equation roots are

$x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-5)}}{2\cdot 1}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{21}}{2}\\so, x=\frac{1+\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx 2.79\\or\ x=\frac{1-\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx -1.79$

What is the value of x in theequation 2.5 (6x - 4) = 10 + 4 (1.5 +0.5 x)?

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2.5(6x−4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2.5(6x−4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x)

(2.5)(6x)+(2.5)(−4)=10+(4)(1.5)+(4)(0.5x)(Distribute)

15x+−10=10+6+2x

15x−10=(2x)+(10+6)(Combine Like Terms)

15x−10=2x+16

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

15x−10−2x=2x+16−2x

13x−10=16

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

13x−10+10=16+10

13x=26

Step 4: Divide both sides by 13.

x=2
