Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since this is a equation we know we have to get the variables to one side and the constants/rational numbers to the other. So you take 7y and you add -7y. You do that to the other side which will give you -4y=22. Since we cant have a negative variable, you flip the y to positive and flip the constant to negative leaving you 4y=-22. Then you distribute y leaving you y=-5.5

2.since we know the constants must be on 1 side of the equal sign, we subtract 123 on both sides, leaving us with 28y=-35. Distribute y and you get y=-0.8

2x+3=-7<br><br> What is the answer?

Mashcka [7]

Hi there! With equations like this we want to get our variable on one side and and our constant on the other.

So with 2x + 3 = -7 you'd subtract the constant 3 from both sides of the equal sign to get 2x = -10, then you'd divide both sides by 2 to get x = -5. If you double check your work by replacing x in the original equation with our answer we'd find that 2(-5) + 3 = -7 is correct.

Hope you find this helpful :)

Which property of equality could be used to solve x - (-6) = 18?

Answer:subtraction property

Step-by-step explanation:

Two a negative and a negative makes a positive so it would be x+6=18 so u do the opposite on both sides so it would be subtraction
