depends on the value of said negative number. even if they are negative it has nothing to do with them being prime or composite. 3, for example, will always be a composite number. everything that can be multiplied evenly by 3 will also always be a composite number.

$y\cdot \:2\frac{1}{2} =$ $2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$ $=\frac{5y}{2}$

a) $2y+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4y+1}{2}$

b) $2y+\frac{1}{2}y=\frac{5y}{2}$

How many solutions does the equation 9x-3(x+8)=6x-24

Marina86 [1]

Simplifying
9x + -3(x + 8) = 6x + -24

Reorder the terms:
9x + -3(8 + x) = 6x + -24
9x + (8 * -3 + x * -3) = 6x + -24
9x + (-24 + -3x) = 6x + -24

Reorder the terms:
-24 + 9x + -3x = 6x + -24

Combine like terms: 9x + -3x = 6x
-24 + 6x = 6x + -24

Reorder the terms:
-24 + 6x = -24 + 6x

Add '24' to each side of the equation.
-24 + 24 + 6x = -24 + 24 + 6x

Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0
0 + 6x = -24 + 24 + 6x
6x = -24 + 24 + 6x

Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0
6x = 0 + 6x
6x = 6x

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.
6x + -6x = 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
0 = 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
0 = 0

Solving
0 = 0

What is the y-intercept of the line given by the equation below? Enter you answer as an ordered pair.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

0, 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 8x + 7 ← is in slope- intercept form

with y- intercept c = 7 ⇒ (0, 7 )
