Divide both sides by -3
y + 5 = -15/3
Simplify 15/3 to 5
y + 5 = -5
Subtract 5 from both sides
y = -5 - 5
Simplify -5 - 5 to -10
y = -10
Answer:
144
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of 1 side is 12 so area is 12*12
Answer:39 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
#1.
Here what you do is cross multiply.

#2.
Same as #1, just cross multiply.

You get the gist?
Order of operations (PEMDAS):
21 - 18 <span>/ 3 * 2
let's add some parenthesese to make it easier to see:
21 - (18 / 3 * 2)
multiplication and division are associative
also: 18 / 3 = 18 * (1/3)
21 - (18 * (1/3) * 2)
21 - (6*2) or 21 - (36 * (1/3)) or 21 - (18 * (2/3))
21 - 12
