First, let's move combine like terms:
-5y + 8y = 6 + 2 -12.
3y = -4.
y = -4/3
You have to set it up as two problems then combined like terms then add them together
Answer:
1) 6x = 21
2) x + y - 3
3) x/z = y
4) 2-x = p
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The product of a number x and 6 is 21
A product is a multiplication. A product of a and b is a * b.
We then have a product of x and 6, that x * 6, which we write usually in the format 6x.
is 21: that means it's equal to 21....
so 6x = 21.
2. The sum of the quantity x- 3 and y
The sum is an addition. The sum of a and b is a + b.
In this case, the first part is x - 3, the second part is y
So, x - 3 + y, which we usually rewrite as x + y - 3
3. The quotient of x and z is y
A quotient is a division.
So, quotient of x and z is x/z.
x/z = y
4. The difference of 2 and x is p.
A difference is a subtraction.
Difference of 2 and x is 2 - x
2 - x = p
