First you must add the same numbers together, for instance, you wouldn't add 4y with 4 you have to add it with another number that is just like it, for instance 4y and 9y they are the same, so you can add them. So let's get to the problem now:
5y(2y-3)=(2y-3)
5y*2y=10y
(10y-3)=(2y-3)
You can do nothing to the other side because there are no numbers, that are the same.
Answer:
$5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
6 * N (notebook) + 3 * P (pen) = 27
n = 1.5 +P
6 * (1.5 + P) + 3 * P = 27
9 +6p +3p = 27
9p = 18
p (pen): $2
N (notebook): $3.5
combined cost of 1 pen and 1 notebook: $2 + $ 3.5 = $ 5.5
Just forget about the first half, and just do the second half. It’s way easier. Answer is -7.75
You add up all of the sides
