What is the value of y if (4y + 8) - (7y - 12) = 11? (PLEASE ANSWER + 10 POINTS!!!!)?

1 answer:

6 0

Hello!

(4y + 8) - (7y - 12) = 11 is 1(4y + 8) - 1(7y - 12) = 11

1(4y + 8) - 1(7y - 12) = 11 Given
4y + 8 - 7y + 12 = 11 Distribute the 1 and the -1
-3y + 20 = 11 Combine like terms
-3y = -9 Subtract 20 from both sides
y = 3 Divide both sides by -3

Answer:
y = 3

Answer:

12x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to add 5x+1 and 7x-3.

5x+1+7x-3.

We need to organize this into common terms.

5x+7x+1-3

Now we simplify.

12x-2

That is the final answer!!

Hope this helped!!!! :D

What segment is congruent to AC?<br> A. BD<br> B. BE<br> C. CE<br> D. none

Phoenix [80]

You can find the segment congruent to AC by finding another segment with the same length. So first, you need to find the length of AC.

C - A = AC
0 - (-6) = AC Cancel out the double negative
0 + 6 = AC
6 = AC

Now, find another segment that also has a length of 6.

D - B = BD
2 - (-2) = BD Cancel out the double negative
2 + 2 = BD
4 = BD
4 ≠ 6

E - B = BE
4 - (-2) = BE Cancel out the double negative
4 + 2 = BE
6 = BE
6 = 6

So, the segment congruent to AC is B. BE .

Iodine-131 is a radioactive material with half-life of eight days. A scientist starts with 100 grams of iodinie- 131. Which func

MrRissso [65]

The correct answer is Choice A.

This is an example of an exponential equation, so we need the formula $y=ab^x$ .

The a value is the starting value of 100. The b value must be a decimal lower than 1 because it is decreases.

If you substitute in 8 for x, you will see that the output is about 50 (half of 100).
