Y= 9

-16y-13=-157
You first want to get the y by itself on one side
So you do:
-16y= -157+13
(since you moved -13 to the other side it becomes positive) then you do
-16y= -144 (when you do -157+13 you get -144)
Then divide -144 by -16
y= -144/-16
So finally, you get:
y= 9

If 675 is 3/4 what is the the other 1/4 and how did you get it ?

SashulF [63]

Answer:

225

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 675 you'll get 225. 225 times 4 will be 900. But 225 times 3 will be 674. So each 1/4 will be 225.

A number is 6 times another number and their difference is 30. What are the numbers?

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

x=36

y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

Condition 1

x=6y ----------(1)

Condition 2

x-y=30 ------------(2)

Putting 1 in 2

6y-y=30

5y=30

Dividing both sides by 5

y=6

Now

Putting y=6 in 1

We get

x=6(6)

x=36

−1/3−(−1/2)

Radda [10]

Hi ;-)

$-\frac{1}{3}-(-\frac{1}{2})=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{2}{6}+\frac{3}{6}=\frac{3}{6}-\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{6}\\\\3\frac{1}{3}-5=-(5-3\frac{1}{3})=-(4\frac{3}{3}-3\frac{1}{3})=-1\frac{2}{3}\\\\-1\frac{4}{5}-(-2\frac{7}{8})=-1\frac{4}{5}+2\frac{7}{8}=-1\frac{32}{40}+2\frac{35}{40}=2\frac{35}{40}-1\frac{32}{40}=1\frac{3}{40}\\\\-3\frac{3}{8}-\frac{7}{8}=-(3\frac{3}{8}+\frac{7}{8})=-3\frac{10}{8}=-3\frac{5}{4}=-4\frac{1}{4}\\\\4\frac{3}{4}-(-1\frac{1}{12})=4\frac{9}{12}+1\frac{1}{12}=5\frac{10}{12}$
