1. Let's call the number of carter school: "x" and "y" the number of alternative school.  Then, you have that:

 - T<span>he number of charter schools is 4 less than twice the number of alternative schools.
</span> - T<span>here are 48 charter schools in the country.

 2. So, you have:

 x=2y-4  (i)

 x=48  (ii)

 3. Then, when you substitute x=48 into the equation (i), you obtain:
</span>
 x=2y-4
<span> 48=2y-4

 4. Now, you must clear "y, as below:

 48+4=2y
 2y=52
 y=52/2
 y=26
 </span><span>
 How many alternative schools are in the county?
</span><span>
 The answer is: There are 26 alternative schools.</span>

As you can see I keep getting questions wrong.... Can you answer the last question?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

  y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

It is always a good idea to look at the question and make some observations about it. Here, you might observe ...

  • all of the bases are powers of 3: 243 = 3^5; 9 = 3^2
  • y is a factor of every exponent

The latter observation is important, because it means that when y=0, every exponential expression has a value of 1. Hence y = 0 is a solution.

__

To solve the equation, you can write it in terms of powers of 3.

  (3^5)^(-y) = (3^-5)^(3y)·(3^2)^(-2y)

  3^(-5y) = 3^(-15y)·3^(-4y)

  3^(-5y) = 3^(-19y)

  -5y = -19y . . . . . . . . equating exponents; equivalent to taking log base 3

  14y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . add 19y

  y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . one solution

______

The rules of exponents we used are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

  1/a^b = a^-b
