Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
We use BODMAS/BIDMAS here.
First, we do 5 × 2, as multiplication comes before subtracting and adding.
5 × 2 = 10
Now we can just add and subtract.
5 - 10 = -5
-5 + 11 = 6
The answer is that y is equal to -3 and x is equal to 7
2x-y=17
-2(x-y)=10 )
--------------
2x-y=17
-2x+2y=-20
----------------
y=-3
x-y=10
x-(-3)=10
x+3=10
-3 -3
----------
x=7
First, you set up the equation which would be 5y-8=3y-4.
-3y -3y
2y-8= -4
+8 +8
2y=4
divide by 2
y=2
We can use ratios, in other words, if one part of the photo is changed x times, how many times does the other part change?
We can set up the proportion as :
width 1 : length 1 = width 2 : length 2
20 : 30 = 5 : x
We do inverse multiplication, or multiply the outer with outer and inner with inner (W1 * L2 and L1 * W2)
20*x = 30*5
20x = 150
Divide all by 10
2x = 15
Divide all by 2 to isolate x
x = 15/2
x = 7.5cm
