Answer:
y = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
5(2y - 1) - 2(3y) = 1
First we use distributive property:
10y - 5 - 6y = 1
because 5 × 2y = 10y
and -2 × 3y = -6y
Now we combine the like terms:
4y -5 = 1
because 10y - 6y = 4y
Now we have to send the -5 to the other side. (when we send it to the other side it becomes positive because right now it is negative)
4y = 1 + 5
Again we combine the like terms:
4y = 6
(because 5 + 1 = 6)
Now we have to send the 4 to the other side because we need to get the y value. (when we send it to the other sidr it will be divided)
y = 6/4
and we simplify:
y = 3/2
And we cannot simplify or do anything else. So that is the answer.
Hope that helped!
Step-by-step explanation:
By Pythagoras' Theorem, 6^2 + 8^2 = x^2.
x^2 = 36 + 64 = 100, x = 10.

Answer: 3 miles per hour
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use the formula "distance (d) = rate (r) x time (t)" to create a system of equations.
Let "r" represent the rate they are rowing
Let "c" represent the current
time rate distance <u>EQUATION</u>
Downstream: 4 hours r + c 40 miles 4(r + c) = 40
Upstream: 10 hours r - c 40 miles 10(r - c) = 40
Distribute, then eliminate r to solve for c:
Down: 4r + 4c = 40 → 5(4r + 4c = 40) → 20r + 20c = 200
Up: 10r - 10c = 40 → -2(10r - 10c = 40) → <u>-20r + 20c</u> =<u> -80</u>
40c = 120
<u> ÷40 </u> <u>÷40 </u>
c = 3
