Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-(4y + 2) - (-3y - 6) = -1

Step 2: Solve for y

Distribute: -4y - 2 + 3y + 6 = -1
Combine like terms: -y + 4 = -1
Subtract 4 on both sides: -y = -5
Divide both sides by -1: y = 5

Step 3: Check

Plug in y to verify it's a solution.

-(4(5) + 2) - (-3(5) - 6) = -1

-(20 + 2) - (-15 - 6) = -1

-22 - (-21) = -1

-22 + 21 = -1

-1 = -1

kotegsom [21]

So we want to know how much Orlando owes, here's the answer:

Since he pays 121$ every month, the formula would be this:

$y = 2,904 - 121x$ , if we consider x = months.

So the answer is B, $y = 2,904 - 121x$

Hope this helped! c:

Solve for x. 4(7x−3)−6=6−4(3x−7) Enter your answer in the box.

olasank [31]

4(7x−3)−6=6−4(3x−7)

Distributive property

28x - 12 - 6 = 6 - 12x + 28

28x - 18 = -12x + 34

28x + 12x = 34 + 18

40x = 52

x = 52/40

x = 13/10

x = 1 3/10 (mixed number: 1 and 3/10)

Solve 5x - 8y = 11 for y.

disa [49]

Answer:

y = $\frac{5x-11}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5x - 8y = 11 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 8y = 11 - 5x ( multiply through by - 1 )

8y = - 11 + 5x = 5x - 11 ( divide both sides by 8 )

y = $\frac{5x-11}{8}$
