Answer:

The value of y = 2\frac{3}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an equation : \frac{3}{y-2}=8

Cross multiplying states that  multiplying the numerator of each fraction by the other's denominator.

\frac{a}{b}= \frac{c}{d} or

a\cdot d = b \cdot c

Now, we use cross multiply for the given equation:

we can write it as : \frac{3}{y-2}=\frac{8}{1}

then, 3\cdot 1 = (y-2) \cdot 8

Using distributive property on right hand side : a(b-c)= a\cdot b- a\cdot c

we have,

3=8y-16

Adding 16 both the sides we get,

3+16=8y-16+16

Simplify:

8y = 19

Divide by 8 both sides, we get

y=\frac{19}{8} or y = 2\frac{3}{8}

therefore, the value of y is, y = 2\frac{3}{8}

Answer:

change them to improper fractions

-5/2 - (-7/4)

now multiply -5/2 by two so the denominators are the same

-10/4 - (-7/4)

subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number

-10/4 + 7/4

We are given the table that projects the distance of the car per hour. x is associated to time while y is associated to distance. The equation of the line after plotting in MS Excel is y = 900 - 50x. Hence the y-intercept is equal to 900 while the slope is equal to -50. The domain of the function that is x is all positive numbers.
