Answer:

Equation translates to 289 + y = 206

it solves to y = -83

====================================================

Explanation:

The "and y more" means we are adding y onto 289 to get the expression 289+y. This is set equal to 206 because of the term "is" in the original statement.

Therefore, "289 and y more is 206" translates fully to the equation 289+y = 206

This is the same as saying y+289 = 206

To isolate y, we undo what is happening to it. We are adding 289 to it, so we must subtract 289 from both sides

y+289 = 206

y+289-289 = 206-289

y = -83

So we are adding -83 to 289 to get 206

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x= -1 and -3

What when multiplied is +3 but when added is 4? 3 and 1. You then get (x+3)(x+1) is the first part of the answer. If you want to find x, set x+3 to 0. x+3=0. Then subtract 3 from both sides to get x by itself. x= -3. Do the same with the x+1.
