-4 (5y + 5) = -120
multiply the bracket by -4
(-4)(5y)=-20y
(-4)(5)=-20
-20y-20=-120
move -20 to +20
-20y-20+20=-120+20
-20y=-120+20
-20y=-100
divide both sides by -20 to get y by itself
-20y/-20=-100/-20
Answer: y=5
Is there a picture?
So we can figure it out
The answer should be 2 13/30.
When A is divided: A /
By the sum of a certain number and 10: (n + 10)
When A is divided by the sum of a certain number and 10: A / (n + 10)
The result is the same as: =
Dividing 3: 3 /
By the sum of that number and 4: (n + 4)
The result is the same as dividing 3 by the sum of that number and 4: 3 / (n + 4).
Final Equation: A / (n + 10) = 3 / (n + 4)
To solve, we'll need to cross-multiply. Without knowing the value of A, however, the answer will not be a numerical value.
3(n + 10) = A(n + 4)
3n + 30 = An + 4A
30 - 4A = An - 3n
30 - 4A = n(A - 3)
n = (30 - 4A) / (A - 3)
If you know the value of A, then please plug it in to the value for n given above.
Hope this helps!
