Answer:

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there! I'm glad I was able to help you!

To solve for the temporarily unknown variable requires two steps, but I'll break them down for you so that it's easier to understand.

STEP 1: Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation. We do this so that we aren't left with any unknown numbers on either side. This makes it harder for us to solve for the unknown variable with the +1 being there.

3y + 1 = 22

3y + 1 - 1\\22 - 1

Now we are left with our equation that looks like this:

3y = 21

The +1 on the left side of the equation has been canceled, but the rule we use in math states that whatever we do to one side of the equation must be done to the other, to keep things even.

STEP 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 3. Yay, more canceling!

Like we did before, we do this so we aren't left with any "stray" numbers on either side of the equation. This cancels out the 3's on the left side of the equation, leaving us with just our variable, y.

\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{21}{3}

y =7

Our final answer is correct, but just in case you want to double check it so you're 100% certain, all you have to do is replace the variable in the equation by our new answer, and check and see if it's a true statement.

3 * 7 = 21\\21 + 1 = 22

I hope this helped you! Leave a comment below if I can assist with anything else! I'd love to help! :)

The answer is 7
If you cancel 1 with -1 you will only have 3y=21 and 3 x 7 is 21 so y=7

Which of the following shows the solution to the inequality
otez555 [7]

Answer:

I got x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First to isolate the variable you add 3 to both sides which will give you 1/2x is less than or equal to 2. Then divide both sides by 1/2 and you will get x = 1. To check the answer I just did:    

1/2(1) -3 \leq -1\\1/2 -3\leq -1\\-2.5\leq -1

And since -2.5 is less than -1 this statement is true. x does in fact equal 1

Jerry goes to a theme park to ride the roller coasters. The theme park charges an entry fee in addition to a fee for each roller
ratelena [41]
You start with: (assuming x equals the cost to enter and y the cost of going on the rollercoasters.)
x+5y=35
x+11y=59. Multiply the top equation by -1, and subtract the equations, giving you -6y=-24, divide by -6 into both sides of the equation, to get y=4. Now replace y in one of the original equations (I recommend x+5y=35) and solve for x, giving you x=15 

The cost for entering is 15 dollars, while each coaster is 4 dollars more. You could simplify this by changing y into x and making it slope-intercept form, to track your cost. y=4x+15, so it has a slope of 4, and a y-intercept of 15. This answer should give you a good grade on a test.
