Answer:

y=\frac{23}{60}

Step-by-step explanation:

(y-\frac{1}{4})-(y-\frac{4}{5})=(y+\frac{4}{10} )-1

  • First, let's deal with everything in our parentheses. This includes simplification of fractions and distributing signs.
  • Remember than when distributing, everything in the parentheses is affected by whatever is being distributed.

(y-\frac{1}{4})-(y-\frac{4}{5})=(y+\frac{4}{10} )-1\\(y-\frac{1}{4})-(y-\frac{4}{5})=(y+\frac{2}{5})-1

  • A quick note that we can get rid of the parentheses once there is only addition and subtraction left next to the parentheses.

(y-\frac{1}{4})-(y-\frac{4}{5})=(y+\frac{2}{5})-1\\y-\frac{1}{4}-y+\frac{4}{5}=y+\frac{2}{5}-1

  • Now that the parentheses are gone, we can add and subtract in any order as long as we don't break the rules of addition and subtraction.

y-\frac{1}{4}-y+\frac{4}{5}=y+\frac{2}{5}-1\\y-y-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{4}{5}=y+\frac{2}{5}-1\\-2y-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{4}{5}=y+\frac{2}{5}-1

  • Let's move all our fractions to one side, and all our unknowns to the other.

-2y-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{4}{5}=y+\frac{2}{5}-1\\-3y=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{4}{5}+\frac{2}{5}-1

  • We need a common denominator for our fractions. The quickest way to do this only two different denominators is to multiply the two denominators together. 4*5=20, so we will multiply both the numerator and the denominator by whatever we need to to get 20.

-3y=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{4}{5}+\frac{2}{5}-1\\-3y=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{5}{5})-\frac{4}{5}(\frac{4}{4})+\frac{2}{5}(\frac{4}{4})-1\\-3y=\frac{5}{20}-\frac{16}{20}+\frac{8}{20}-1

  • add the denominators together. -1=-\frac{20}{20}

-3y=\frac{5}{20}-\frac{16}{20}+\frac{8}{20}-1\\-3y=\frac{5}{20}-\frac{16}{20}+\frac{8}{20}-\frac{20}{20}\\-3y=\frac{13}{20}-\frac{36}{20}\\-3y=\frac{-23}{20}\\-\frac{1}{3}(-3y)=-\frac{1}{3}(-\frac{23}{20})\\y=\frac{23}{60}

Which is a solution to 2x + 1 = 21?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

x = 10 is your answer

- Explain -

Step 1: subtract 1 from both sides (subtraction of equality)

which will give us:

2x = 21 - 1

which equals to

2x = 20

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2

which is

2x/2 = 20/2

2/2 = 1 and 20/2 = 10

Therefore the answer is x = 10

b)  n=(HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

3 coin are tossed

Therefore

Sample space n=(HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT).

Generally the sets that correspond with the result of at most one tail is therefore given as follows

P(

Therefore

The result is at most one tail when
