The first step for solving this is to distribute 5 through the parenthesis.
5b + 30 = 18
Now move the constant to the right side of the equation and change its sign.
5b = 18 - 30
Calculate the difference between the two numbers on the right side of the equation.
5b = -12
Lastly,, you need to divide both sides of the equation by 5.
b = -\frac{12}{5}
You can convert this fraction into a decimal by dividing the top of the fraction by the bottom. When you do this you should get -2.4 which will make the correct answer to your question option B.

Evaluate 0.67y + 4 when y = 2 and when y = -2
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

2.66 and 4.34

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate, substitute the values of y and solve.

So, when y =-2

0.67y + 4 = -1.34 + 4 = 2.66

And when y = 2

0.67y + 4 = 1.34 + 4 = 4.34

Hope this helps.

What is the perimeter of triangle PQR? Show your work.
zubka84 [21]
You know that the two triangles are congruent because two sides and one angle are congruent.

According to CPCTC, corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, which means that PR and SU are equal.

3y-2=y+4
3y=y+6
2y=6
y=3

3(3)-2=9-2=7

7+4+6=17

The perimeter is 17 feet.

Hope this helps!
