20 + 17y = -6 + 15y
First, regroup your terms.
Second, take away '15y' from each side.
Third, subtract '17y - 15y' to get '2y'.
Fourth, take away '20' from both sides.
Fifth, simplify '-6 - 20' to get '-26'.
Sixth, divide both sides by '2'.
Seventh, how many times goes 2 go into 26? 26 ÷ 2 = 13.

Answer:
y = -13
I guess the chef is making the mixture for the sheriff... Let <em>x</em> be the amount of dressing with 5% vinegar that is required, and <em>y</em> the amount of 15% vinegar dressing (both amounts in mL).
The sheriff wants 390 mL of the mixed dressing, so that
<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 390
<em>x</em> mL of the 5% dressing contains 0.05<em>x</em> mL of vinegar, while <em>y</em> mL of the 15% dressing contains 0.15<em>y</em> mL of vinegar. The resulting mixture should have a concentration of 9% vinegar, so that it contains 0.09 (390 mL) = 35.1 mL of vinegar. This means
0.05<em>x</em> + 0.15<em>y</em> = 35.1
Solve for <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = 390 - <em>x</em>
0.05<em>x</em> + 0.15 (390 - <em>x</em>) = 35.1
0.05<em>x</em> + 58.5 - 0.15<em>x</em> = 35.1
23.4 = 0.10<em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 234
<em>y</em> = 156

Answer:
P = 2x + 150
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 2x + 150
Answer:
26.8°
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 20 + 6x - 7 = 90
10x -27 =90
10x = 90+27
10x= 117
x = 11.7
so, the angle R = 4x-20 =4(11.7)-20
= 46.8-20 = 26.8°
