Let's find x. This will allow us to find the value of the second expression.
x - 3 = 1
x = 4
Now, we can simply plug this x-value into the second expression to obtain 4^2 - 3(4) - 1 = 3.
Thus, our answer is 3.
The value of 'y' is exactly 6 less than the negative fifth multiple of 'x'.
Answer:
<u>The correct answer is D. 2x, -4y, and 8.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The concept of the terms of an equation is used for the monomials of each member participating in the equation. In Mathematics we distinguish between two types of terms:
1. The terms in x: when the terms are accompanied by a literal.
2. The independent terms: when the terms are constituted by numerical elements.
0.6y + 0.02 = 0.3y - 0.4
Subtract 0.3y from both sides.
0.3y + 0.02 = -0.4
Subtract 0.02 from both sides.
0.3y = -0.42
Divide both sides by 0.3.
y = -1.4
Those are positive numbers.
Those that are less than zero are called negative numbers.
Zero itself can be considered both, or neither.
