first, spread the parenthesis. y+2=1/2x-1.5
second, add 1.5 to both sides. y+3.5=1/2x
third, multiply by 2. 2y+7=x
if you are solving for y, do not do the third step, instead, subtract by 3.5. y=x-3.5
hope this helps!
ANSWER: x=2y+7 or y=x-3.5
Let N be the number of items sold and p the price.
Since the variation is inverse, then the relation between N and p is:

For N=20000 and p = $9.5, we get the formula:

If p = 8.75, then the number of items sold can be computed using the formula:
62.5/100 and 0.625 are both equivalent.
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
2x² +21x-61 = (x+7)²
expand
2x² + 21x - 61 = x² + 14x +49
move everything to one side
x² + 7x - 12 = 0
use quadratic formula

plug in the values

solve



Answer:
y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
12y + 4 = 8y-12
Subtract 8y from each side
12y - 8y +4 = -12
4y +4 = -12
Subtract 4 from each side
4y +4-4 = -12 -4
4y = -16
Divide by 4
4y/4 = -16/4
y = -4
