What is the answer 2(4y+1)=3y

1 answer:

4 0

2(4y+1) = 3y. We need to solve for y.
First let's get ride of the parenthesis by developing 2(4y+1). This means to multiply 2 by 4y and 2 by 1, and add them.
2(4y+1) = 2*4y + 2*1 = 8y + 2
So 2(4y+1)=3y
8y+2 = 3y
Then you subtract 8y from each side to have the variables on a side and the numbers on the other:
3y - 8y = 8y + 2 - 8y
-5y = 2
Then you divide each side by -5 to get the variable y alone on a side and its value on the other:
(-5y)/-5 = 2/-5
y = -2/5

You can re-check your answer (very important):
2(4y + 1) = 2(4*-2/5 + 1) = -1.2
3y = 3 * -2/5 = -1.2
So 2(4y+1)=3y= -1.2
The answer has been approved.

Hope this Helps! :)

Quadratic Equations How do I solve a quadratic equation?

malfutka [58]

There are different ways to solve a quadratic equation, the main ones that i'm thinking about right now are:
1) factor the equation as a product:
ex: x^2+ 4x + 3 =0
(x+3) (x+1) = 0
x=-3 and x=-1 are the solutions.
To find (x+p) and (x+q) you have to think that (p+q )have to be equal to the number that is multiplied by x, in my example it was 4 (3+1=4), (p times q) have to be equal to the last number of the quadratic equation, the one that is not multiplied by any x, that in my example is 3 (3 x 1= 3)

2) The other way to solve a quadratic function is by using a formula:
given: ax^2 +bx +c=0
x= (-b +/- √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

ex: 3x^2 + 4x -2=0
x= (-4 +/- √16-4(3)(-2)) / 6= (-4 +/- √16+24)/6= (-4 +/- √40) / 6
now there are 2 possibilities: x= (-4+√40) /6
and
x= (-4 - √40) / 6
I hope the examples were clear enough also if i did't get very nice numbers. Look closely to the sings + and -, they are very important

How many ways are there to put 6 balls in 3 boxes if the balls are distinguishable but the boxes are not?

FromTheMoon [43]

This is essentially asking how many different ways to partition 6 into 3 segments.

I am assuming "no ball in a box" is not allowed.

6 can be partitioned as

(4,1,1), (3,2,1), and (2,2,2)

So, calculate each partition, we get

(6 choose 4) + (6 choose 3)*(3 choose 2) + (6 choose 2) * (4 choose 2)

= 15 + 20*3 + 15*6

=165
