Answer:
10.5 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
4(5y−8−2)=185−15
(4)(5y)+(4)(−8)+(4)(−2)=185+−15(Distribute)
20y+−32+−8=185+−15
(20y)+(−32+−8)=(185+−15)(Combine Like Terms)
20y+−40=170
20y−40=170
20y−40+40=170+40
20y=210
20y/20=210/20
y=21/2
y=10.5
<h3><em>In AP form 2nd term - 1st term = 3rd term - 2nd term
</em></h3><h3><em>b²-a² = c²-b²
</em></h3><h3><em>b²+b² = c²+a²
</em></h3><h3><em>2b² = c²+a²
</em></h3><h3><em>
</em></h3><h3><em>Add 2ab+2ac+2bc on both sides
</em></h3><h3><em>
</em></h3><h3><em>2b²+2ab+2ac+2bc = a²+c²+ac+ac+bc+bc+ab+ab
</em></h3><h3><em>2b²+2ab+2ac+2bc = ac+bc+a²+ab+bc+c²+ab+ac
</em></h3><h3><em>2b²+2ab+2ca+2cb = ca+cb+a²+ab+cb+c²+ab+ac
</em></h3><h3><em>2(ba+b²+ca+cb) = (ca+cb+a²+ab) + (cb+c²+ab+ac)
</em></h3><h3><em>2((ba+b²)+(ca+cb)) = ((ca+cb)+(a²+ab)) + ((cb+c²)+(ab+ac))

Since NO=NP (as seen by the 2 lines next to each other), we get
17=5x-6. Adding 6 to both sides, we get 23=5x and by dividing 5 on both sides we get x=23/5
