The question:
Find the value of "y" when "x" equals 17.
Given the equation:
- x + y = -27 ;
___________________
We plug in the given value: "17" ; for "x" ; and solve for "y" :
- 17 + y = -27 ;
_____________________
↔ y + (-17) = -27 ;
Rewrite as:
y − 17 = -27 ; {since: "adding a negative value" is the same
as "subtracting a positive value."}.
_____________________
Now, we add "17" to each side of the equation;
to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" :
y − 17 + 17 = -27 + 17 ;
to get:
y = - 10 .

Since 5 miles is equaled to 4 inches multiply the 8 miles by 4/5 to get 6 2/5
Answer:
Incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let, the first number is x, and the second number is y. Given, the second number is 125% of the first number. So, the equation will be
y = 1.25 x
Or, y= 5/4x
Now, multiplying it with 4/5, we get, x= 4/5y
Or, x= 0.80 y
But, Brad is saying the first number must be 75% of the second number. But here we see that the first number is 80% of the second number. That's why Brad is incorrect.
Answer:
I don't understand the question. Pls is there any picture
Simon is 13 years old
Let x be Simon's age
Thus 4 years ago his age was (x - 4) and 2 years from now his age is (x + 2)
Hence 5(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)
distributing both sides gives
5x-20 = 3x + 6
subtract 3x from both sides of the equation
5x - 3x - 20 = 6
2x - 20 = 6
add 20 to both sides
2x = 6 + 20 = 26
divide both sides by 2
x = 
= 13
Simon is 13 years old
