-3(y+2)^2 - 5 + 6y
= -3(y^2 + 4y + 4) - 5 + 6y
= -3y^2 - 12y - 12 - 5 + 6y
= -y^2 - 6y - 17
Answer
(-1) y^2 + (-6) y + (-17)
I hope I am reading the problem right: The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year. The value is $150. What was the value of the mountain bike last year?
Let's simplify this. One year, there was this radical mountain bike that used to have an unsaid price, <em>x. </em>That year, that price of x increased by 20% more than it was before, or <em>120% times the original value</em>. Because of that, it's now $150.
We can equation this.
1.20x = 150
x = 150/1.2
x = 125
The bike, I believe, cost $125 last year. Hope this helps!
Answer:
16: y=4x+14 17: 12 18: when you simplify it all individually you get x=3 for both equations. 19: $6.69
Step-by-step explanation:
16:y-2=4(x+3) distribute 4 and get y-2=4x-12. Add 2 to both sides to get y-4x+14.
17:x+2y=4 and 3x+6y=? divide 3x+6y by three and you get x+2y=4. This means you can just multiply the 4 by 3 to get the answer.
18:3x-5=4 and 3x-3=6. For the first one add 5 to both sides to get 3x=9 then divide both side by 3 to get x=3. For the second one add 3 to both sides to get 3x=9. Again divide both sides by three to get x=3.
19: $18-$4.62=13.38 since he wants 2 models divide 13.38 by 2 to get 6.69.
B. is the answer because he can just refill the 1 gallon jug to eventually measure out 3 gallons!
