W + 3w - 5 = 23 +5 +5 (-5 +5 cancels out and equals 0) Like terms. What you do to one side, you do to the other. 4w = 28 ---- --- 4 4 Isolate w by dividing by 4 W = 7

Someone explain this step by step to me 1/2(c-8)=
polet [3.4K]

Answer: c/2-4


Step-by-step explanation:

This is what I get :

1/2(c-8)

Distributed property

1/2(c) + 1/2(-8)


Do c and -8 as a fraction with denominator 1 solve across

1/2×c/1+1/2×-8/1


Here you can only divide -8by 2

C/2-8/2

To get -4

C/2-4

If 20% of a number is 35, what is 50% of that number? 55, 70, 87.5, or 175
Dimas [21]
Here is what I did to find the answer: 
20% of n is 3520% * n = 3520/100 * n = 35n = 35 * 100 / 20n = 175
50% of 175 = 50% * 175 = 50/100 * 175 = 87.5
The correct answer would be 87.5.

Substatution and elimination
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Well using elimination is easy because they basically did it for you. 
4x-5y=-6
2x+5y=12
The postive 5y and negative 5y cancel out because -5y plus 5y is zero.
so you are left with
4x=-6
2x=12
Add these together
6x=18
divide both sides by 6 and Solve to find your x
x=3
Now we have to eliminate x to find y.
we multiply the second equation by -2 so it can cancel out so
(2x+5y=12)-2
-4x-10y=24
Add the equations together
4x-5y=-6
-4x-10y=24
You are left with -15y = 30
Solve for y
y = -2
So your final answer for the elimination would be 
(3,-2)
