Answer: y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is y.

According to the question,

Step 1 . subtracts three from the number (y-3), then doubles it

i.e. Final number = 2(y-3)

Step 2 .  subtracts three again i.e. (2(y-3)-3), and doubles the number again

i.e. Final result  = 2(2(y-3)-3)

If the result is his original number y, then

2(2(y-3)-3) =y

⇒ 2(2y-6-3)=y   [ using distributive property]

⇒ 2(2y-9)=y

⇒ 2(2y)-2(9)=y [ using distributive property]

⇒ 4y -18=y

⇒ 4y -y= 18 

⇒ 3y= 18

⇒ y= 6    [Divide both sides by 3]

Hence,  y=6

What are zeroes of f(x) =x^2-x-2
allochka39001 [22]
You have to factor this...
 So you have started with this...

x²-x-2=0
If you factor this you will get

(x+1)(x-2)=0

This gives you two solutions...
x=-1, x=2
Hope this helps! Give me a five-rate and a thanks!
