Answer: -3/6 (reduced is -1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute the 6

-18 = 9 + 6y - 24

combine like terms on one side

-18 = -15 + 6y

get all like terms on one side

-3 = 6y

divide by 6

-3/6 = y

if you need to simplify or reduce the answer is -1/2.

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

-18=9+6(y-4)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\-18=9+6y+(6)(-4)\\\\-18=9+6y-24\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\-18=6y+(9-24)\\\\-18=6y-15\qquad\text{add 15 to both sides}\\\\-3=6y\qquad\text{divide both sides by 6}\\\\\dfrac{-3}{6}=\dfrac{6y}{6}\\\\-\dfrac{3:3}{6:3}=y\to y=-\dfrac{1}{2}

It’s a tricky one but first ask yourself why you decided to ask this question. Was it the fact you didn’t want to do it or the face you didn’t know it and wanted to learn. The earth is full of possibilities and what if’s. When you find your true self then the world will make sense

Give two examples that show how using parentheses can change the order in which operations are performed in an expression
Tom [10]

Yes, parentheses can change the order in which operations are performed in an expression.

Let us understand this with two examples.

First example.

Let us suppose we have to simplify the expression

2\cdot (5-3)\\
=2\cdot 2\\
=4

In this expression we have evaluated subtraction first instead of multiply.

Second example.

Let us suppose we have to simplify the expression

(5\cdot 2)- 3\\
=10-3\\
=7

In this expression we have evaluated multiplication first and then subtraction.

Therefore, from above two examples we can see that  parentheses can change the order in which operations are performed in an expression.

The largest angle in a triangle is 100 degrees. The second largest angle is 30 degrees larger than the third angle. What is the
vitfil [10]

Answer:

25°

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of angles in a Δ = 180°

the largest angle = 100°

the second largest  angle = x + 30

the third angle = x

100 + (x +30) + x = 180

100 + x + 30 + x = 180

130 + 2x = 180

2x = 180 - 130

2x = 50

x = 50/2 = 25°

the largest angle = 100°

the second largest  angle = x + 30 =  25 + 30 = 55°

the third angle = x = 25°

100° + 55° + 25° = 180°
